ANATOMY
The liver weighs 15002000 g and so is the largest gland in
the human body.
Traditionally, the insertion into the liver of the falciform
ligament was thought to divide the liver into a right and a
left lobe.
In 1981, Couinaud provided a more accurate
description of the segmental anatomy of the liver
The true division into a right and a left lobe lies in
the main lobar fissure, an oblique plane passing from the
gallbladder fossa anteriorly to the bed of the inferior vena
cava posteriorly (Cantiles line).
Structure
HEPATOCELLULAR CA Epidemiology
One of the most common tumors in the world & 3rd
mortality
Usually arise in the setting of chronic viral hepatitis
or cirrhosis secondary to other causes
Earlier peak incidence in Asia and Africa than in
Western countries(1~2 decades)
More common in men than in women ( 4:1)

Tumor Detection
Initially, hard to detect
To screen high-risk patients periodically
* Infectious hepatitis or family history of HCC
Surveillance tools for HCC
* AFP blood test & ultrasound examination
Symptoms
* Painless mass in right hypochondriac region.
* Liver is hard, irregular and often massively enlarged
* Weight loss, fever, nausea, weakness, tenderness,
jaundice.
* Ascites (40%) often it is massive, splenomegaly and
features of portal hypertension may be present.
Diagnosis
Detection of mass in cirrhotic liver is highly suspicious
for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Diagnostic strategies are dependent on diameter
sizes.
>2 cm in diameter, 1-2 cm in diameter and <1 cm in
diameter
Lesions <1 cm diameter have low likelihood of being
malignant, but should still be followed-up. Lack of
growth over 1-2 years suggests it is not HCC.

Spread of Tumour
Lymphatic spread: it can spread to other part of liver
Diagnosis
https://www.aasld.org/
Tumour Detection
Evaluation
Prognosis depends on 2 separate factors
-Tumor : size, number, vascular invasion, extrahepatic disease
-Liver disease : Child-Pugh,Perfomance status
Lesion imaging, lab results, patients age, overall health
(underlying cirrhosis, involvement of both hepatic lobes,
distant metastasis lung, brain, bone , adrenal gland)
Imaging procedure
: Ultrasound, CT, Hepatic angiography, MRI, PET
Initial Management
Patients presenting acutely with
decompensated liver faillure require
specialist hepatological management.
Management principles include
attention to nutrition, careful fluid
balance and treatment of portal
hypertension
Surgical resection
Liver transplantation
Radiofrequency ablation
Percutaneous ethanol/acetic acid injection
Transarterial embolisation/Transartrial
chemoembolisation (TACE).
Microwave/ cryoablation
Transarterial radiotherapy
Adjuvant systemic chemotherapy
etc

Liver Transplantation
Excellent cure for most patients, but limited organ supply
makes this option unattainable
Benefit for small, unresectable HCC and cirrhosis
Indications
: the patient is not a liver resection candidate
: the tumor(s) is smaller than or equal to 5 in diameter
: there is no macrovascular invlovement
: there is no identifiable extrahepatic spread of tumor to
surrounding LN, abdominal organs, or bone
Liver Transplantation
UNOS( the United Network for Organ Sharing)
* Eligibility criteria : a single hepatoma <5 or
: tumor nodules 3, each nodule 3
* While waiting for transplantation, chest, abdomen and
pelvis CT and bone scans every 6 months
4yr overall survival rate : 85%
The recurrence-free survival rate : 92%
