Radiofrequency thermal ablation vs percutaneous ethanol injection for small hcc in cirrhosis:metanalysis of randomized controlled trials
2009
1. Am J Gastroenterol. 2009 Feb;104(2):514-24. Epub 2009 Jan 13. Radiofrequency thermal ablation vs. percutaneous ethanol injection for small hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhosis: meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Orlando A, Leandro G, Olivo M, Andriulli A, Cottone M. Department of Medicine, Pneumology and Nutrition Clinic, V. Cervello Hospital, University of Palermo, Piazza Mameli 1, Palermo, Italy. ambrogiorlando@tiscali.it OBJECTIVES: Radiofrequency thermal ablation (RF) and percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) have been employed in the treatment of small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as curative treatments. The aim of the study was to review the available evidence compari…
Sorafenib for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: From Randomized Controlled Trials to Clinical Practice.
2015
Hepatocellular carcinoma is a challenging malignancy of global importance. It is the sixth most common solid malignancy and the third leading cause of cancer-related death, worldwide. Curative treatments at early stages include liver transplantation, resection and percutaneous ablation, while transarterial chemoembolization can improve survival in patients with intermediate tumor stage. Patients with mild, related symptoms and/or macrovascular invasion or extrahepatic spread are classified under the advanced stage. The standard of care in this group is sorafenib, an inhibitor of Raf kinase and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, whose effectiveness has been proven by 2 recent rando…

The effects of two essential oil mouthrinses on supragingival plaque regrowth: a comparative study
2012
Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the plaque inhibiting effects of two commercially available mouthrinses containing essential oils (EO): Listerine (Johnson & Johnson Consumer Healthcare, S. Palomba-Pomezia, I) and Curasept Daycare (Curaden Healthcare, Saronno, I). Both products contain the same concentration of EO, but Curasept Daycare does not contain ethanol as a solvent. Material and Methods: The study was a single-center, observermasked, cross-over design with 12 subjects randomly allocated to treatment sequence according to three replicates of a 4x4 Latin square, incorporating balance for any carryover. A 0.12% chlorhexidine (CHX) rinse and a saline solution served as posit…
Multimodal approaches to the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.
2008
The prevalence of hepatocellular carcinoma in Europe and the US is increasing and is currently the leading cause of death in patients with cirrhosis. Surveillance programs for patients with cirrhosis aim to detect tumors at an early stage, when the greatest therapeutic benefits can be achieved. Curative treatments for early-stage tumors include liver transplantation, resection and percutaneous ablation. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and sorafenib can improve survival for patients with intermediate and advanced tumors, respectively. In clinical practice, combination therapies are often used, despite limited evidence to support this approach from randomized controlled trials. Combina…
