The median survival after TACE is 26–40 months with a tumor response rate of approximately 52%. [6] Combining TACE with systemic therapy (sorafenib or brivanib) does not improve survival. [6] The risk of death after transarterial treatments, including TACE, is about 1%, usually due to liver failure. [6]
Partial surgical resection is the recommended treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) when patients have sufficient hepatic function reserve. [39] 5-year survival rates after resection have massively improved over the last few decades and can now range from 41 to 74%. [39]
The survival rate for FLC largely depends on whether (and to what degree) the cancer has metastasized, i.e. spread to the lymph nodes or other organs. Distant spread (metastases), significantly reduces the median survival rate. [19] Five-year survival rates vary between 40 and 90%. [19]
Brain and pancreatic cancers have much lower median survival rates which have not improved as dramatically over the last forty years. [4] Indeed, pancreatic cancer has one of the worst survival rates of all cancers. Small cell lung cancer has a five-year survival rate of 4% according to Cancer Centers of America's Website. [5]
In a series of 322 patients undergoing bland embolization for HCC with a median follow-up of 20 months, 1-, 2-, and 3- year overall survival rates were 66%, 46% and 33% respectively. When patients with extra-hepatic disease or portal vein involvement were excluded, overall 1-, 2- and 3-year survival rates rose to 84%, 66% and 51%, and median ...
Researchers with the American Cancer Society (ACS) assessed rates of 34 different cancers among those born between 1920 and 1990, based on how many were diagnosed with or died of the disease from ...
[7] [2] The evidence is not well elucidated, but the best available data suggests that the risk of hepatocellular adenoma becoming hepatocellular carcinoma, which is malignant liver tumor, is 4.2% of all cases. [8] Transformation to hepatocellular carcinoma is more common in men. [2]
The European Liver Transplant Registry considers liver angiosarcoma an absolute contraindication to liver transplantation, [15] reporting that the median survival following liver transplantation is less than 7 months with no one surviving more than 23 months, showing very little difference from no treatment at all.
