nodular formations.
CEUS HCC nodule in the VI hepatic segment.

August 2004
MRI HCC nodule in the VII hepatic segment.

December 2004
CT scan HCC nodule in the VIII hepatic segment

April 2005
Abdomen ultrasound scan multiple nodular
lesion, the largest in the VI hepatic segment.

May 2005
CT scan Nodular HCC between V and VI hepatic
segment, a second lesion in the II segment and a
third in the VII segment
8
?FP always within the normal range
  • July 2005 chemoembolization of the
  • largest nodule (3,4 cm).
  • CEUS complete response in
  • the lesion treated 2 residual
  • lesions in the remaining
  • parenchyma. Multiple
    rigenerative
  • nodules.

Treatment options Barcellona criteria

Liver trasplant indications
Milanos criteria
  • Solitary nodule with less than 5 cm of diameter
    or
  • Less than 3 nodules with each less than 3 cm of
    diameter and
  • No gross vascular invasion and
  • No ilums nodes involvement

Beyond Milanos criteria ?
Mazzaferro V. et al. Lancet 2009
  • From june 2006 to april 2007, 1556 patients
    transplanted, 1112 exceeding Milanos criteria
  • Median size of largest nodule 40 mm
  • Median numbers of nodule 4
  • 41 of microvascular invasion()
  • 5-years OS 53 vs 73 in patient meet criteria

worst prognostic factor
15
The patient
  • A first nodule of 2 cm
  • A second nodule of 1 cm
  • No invasion of main hepatic vessels

16
Liver Transplant
February 2006
Anastomosis between celiac tripode of the graft
and accessory left hepatic artery of the receiver
17
Pathologist exam of the explanted liver
  • Solitary HCC nodule, almost necrotic (the one
    treated by chemoembolization)
  • Multiple rigenerative nodules
  • Diffuse, microscopic vascular invasion
  • HCC G2-G3 by Edmodson degrees

18
Immunosoppression and other therapies
Immunosoppression protocol
  • Norvasc
  • Lansox
  • Tiklid
  • Bactrim forte
  • Deursil
  • Zyloric
  • Eskim
  • Torvast
  • Aranesp
  • Daclizumab
  • (Zenapax)
  • Tacrolimus

19
Adverse event within the immunosoppression/tacroli
mus
  • Infections
  • Decrease of renal function
  • CNS impairment (headache, trembling,
    depression..)
  • Cytopenia
  • Hirsutism
  • Diabetes mellitus
  • Increase incidence of lymphoma
  • ..

20
Follow-up
  • Progressive increase of creatinine
  • Emerging albuminuria

Dose reduction of Tacrolimus then switch to
Sirolimus
21
Nephrologic evaluation
October 2006
  • Ecodoppler no thrombosis or stenosis in the main
    renal vessels
  • Renal biopsy

Nephropaty with mesangial deposition of IgA
22
  • Abdomen ultrasound scan

Suspect for hepatic lesion
23
CT December 2006
Pet-CT January 2007
Only the largest was seen on FDG-TC-PET.
Multiple microscopic hepatic lesions. One
macroscopic nodule.
24
  • Colonoscopy was performed in order to exclude a
    large intestine primitive cancer

Phase I/II trial of continuous hepatic arterial
infusion (HAI) of Irinotecan in patients with
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
  • Efficacy of irinotecan on HCC cell lines
  • Low efficacy of intravenous irinotecan in HCC (
    Boige V et al 2006)
  • HCC nodules are supplied only by arterial flow
  • Possibility to deliver a higher amount of drug
    into tumoral vasculature
  • Higher conversion of CPT-11 in SN-38 during HAI
    vs IV administration ( Van Riel JHM, 2002)
  • Lower systemic toxicity in HAI vs IV CHT
    administration
  • Irinotecan is a phase specific drug prolonged
    infusion increase fractional cell kill, produces
    lower peak-plasma drug concentration avoiding
    carboxylestease saturation and theoretically
    increasing glucoronation of SN-38 with reduced
    systemic toxicity (Gerrits CJ 1997)

31
