hepatocellular carcinoma

ERROR: At 17:25, I wrote and said that the combination of nivolumab and pembrolizumab is used for the 3rd line therapy. Pembrolizumab should be ipilimumab. In other words, the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab is correct.

For MRI scan of the liver, gadoxetic acid (Eovist) enhanced MRI is more sensitive than using gadolinium as a contrast because Eovist is taken up by hepatocytes, and excreted into the bile as well as in the urine.

My father was a well built 6 footer, just turned 65 a month ago. HCC was diagnosed with HCC in October 2022. Chemo was ruled out, surgery was ruled out. He was prescribed Lenvatinib capsules. Coped well until July. Became too weak for immunotherapy. Slowly grew weak and died peacefully on 07th October 2023. The hard truth is, once you have HCC, death is only prolonged, and whatever you do, it cannot be evaded. That's the hard truth!!😐😐😐😐

Hi why he was not given chemo or radiation treatment? Also you mention he died 7 th October 2023 ? But he developed the HCC in October 2023 and cope until July don’t make any sense

Excellent lecture Sir

Thanks dr stanleykim. My mother has diabetes since 2002 and using insulin. She is also having blood pressure disease. Her age is 69. She is diagnosed with HCC in sep 2022 with 5cm size in segment II with AFP normal. She is Hepatitis B and C negative. As of sep 2023 HCC size was 8 cm. She underwent TACE in 5 oct 2023. Remained in hospital for 20 days because of high fever, constipation and body ache. IR radiologist says TACE went well. HCC size is 7.2 now. We will again do CT with contrast in FEB 2024. Now she is discharged but from past 1.5 months she is having uncontrolled blood sugar level getting high as much as 450 and low as 80. Her BP is also stabled just 15 days back. But she is having sever constipation issue and also developed piles. How you see this case sir. Your kind words may benefit her. Regards

Very well-explained video, thank you dr. Stanley! My father has been diagnosed HCC last week, and he got immunotherapy using atezolizumab and bevacizumab, also a radiotherapy session, just for prolong said the oncologist, can't be cured. Is the patient will survive longer if he gets immunotherapy routinely? Are there any possible side effects of immunotherapy and radiotherapy for a 77 years old male patient? thank you in advance

[@stanleykim1924]

It depends how well he responds to the treatment. If he did, he may be able to live long with continuation of immunotherapy.

[@tinatj4760]

[@viralvideos3.O]

How ur father now?

[@tinatj4760]

My father has received 9 cycles of atezolizumab and bevacizumab and showed good result. In this early month, the CT scan evaluation showed there was a growth size of one nodule and the AFP was also increase to 40 mcg / L (usually AFP is around 20), so he had radiotherapy (1 session) and the immunotherapy agent has been changed to nivolumab single agent.

Hello. Dr Kim my brother in law has HCC liver cancer . He went to the Jewish Hospital in Montreal they convinced him to do the treatment, he have water retention in his abdomen and in his legs to his feets, including diabetes. He said it get worst when they did the treatment second time. Last weeks the doctors said the treatment doesn't work and they said its useless if they continue to do the treatment and now for him to decide if he will continue the treatments or he will stop. They said he will not live longer. What upset me doctors there doesn't encouraging him it's like telling him there's no hope for him and he's desperate like waiting the day to end. If i can find someone can cure him i will take him there. Thank you.

[@stanleykim1924]

Sorry to hear he has advanced HCC. Please watch my lecture, you can find 1st 2nd and even 3rd line therapy. A good 2nd line therapy is lenvatinib, a oral drug. Start it at a lower dose. Of course you need to discuss the doctor

Management of HCC is complicated. Your lecture is nothing but reiteration of book work, though comprehensive, almost lack of personal concept or recommendation, while some parts are outdated. The parts on PET and Y90 are confusing, if not biased.
