Does surgical treatment prevent recurrence and metastasis in patients with primary hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma?
Surgical intervention, including liver resection or transplantation, can potentially offer curative treatment for patients with primary hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support surgical approaches in select primary hepatic HEH; leaves open optimal selection and benefit confirmation in prospective studies.
Mehrabi et al. (2005) conducted a case report in Primary Hepatic Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma (n=5). Surgical treatment (liver transplantation or resection) was evaluated on Recurrence of local tumor or distant metastases. Surgical treatment of primary hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma resulted in no local recurrence or distant metastases during 1 to 13 years of follow-up in four surviving patients.
