Die Kryotherapie von primären und sekundären malignen Lebertumoren: Ergebnisse bei 66 Patienten / Cryotherapy of Primary and Secondary Malignant Live…
2001
Von 1/96 bis 3/01 wurden bei 66 Patienten mit Lebertumoren 72kryo-therapeutische Eingriffe durchgefuhrt. Bei 45 Patienten lagen colorectale Primartumoren vor. Bei 34 Patienten kam die Kryotherapie in Kombination mit Leberresektion zur Anwendung. Ein Patient starb im perioperativen Verlauf und 15 (23%) entwickelten Komplikationen. Bei 22 der 32 Patienten (69%) mit praoperativ erhohten CEA-Spiegeln bei colorectalen Metastasen lagen diese postoperativ im Normbereich. Nach einer mittleren Nachbeobachtung von 20 Monaten haben 38 der 56 Patienten mit „R0-Therapie“ ein Tumorrezidiv entwickelt, davon 10mal unter Beteiligung der Kryoablationsstelle (18%). Die mediane Uberlebenszeit und die 3-Jahres-…
La termoablazione nel trattamento delle neoplasie epatiche primitive e secondarie
2004
Radiofrequency thermoablation is a locoregional procedure based on the use of electromagnetic waves that induce movement and consequently the production of heat. This is the basis for the coagulative necrosis produced in the tissues. The method, experimented with and developed in the '90s, is today extensively used in the treatment of focal hepatic lesions, both primary and secondary. The factors that condition the procedure are related essentially to the characteristics of the tumours and to the possibility of obtaining a predictable area of necrosis that guarantees the radicality of the treatment. As regards primary neoplasms, it should be stressed that the treatment for hepatocellular ca…
Kryotherapie primärer und sekundärer Lebertumoren
2002
AIMS We assessed the morbidity, mortality and efficacy of cryotherapy for primary and secondary malignant liver tumours in a prospective case control study. METHODS Since 1996 we performed 77 cryosurgical procedures on 71 patients. 6 patients had hepatocellular carcinoma, the remainders metastases, mainly of colorectal origin (n = 49). Cryotherapy was used when a complete tumour resection was not feasible, but complete tumour destruction by cryotherapy seemed possible. Mean follow-up was 21 months. RESULTS The mean number of lesions per patient was 2.6 (1-10) with a mean maximum diameter of 3.7 cm (1-11). In 36 of 71 patients cryotherapy was used in combination with liver resection. Morbidi…
