Downstaging disease in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma outside up-to-seven criteria: Strategies using degradable starch microspheres transcatheter arterial chemo-embolization

Figure 1 Contrast enhanced computed tomography in patient with multinodular hepatocellular carcinoma before the degradable starch microspheres transcatheter arterial chemoembolization not in agreement with new-Milan-criteria. The enhanced computed tomography images show 5 hypervascular lesions, in the patients with a score of 8 using the new-Milan-criteria. A: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) on VII segment with maximum diameter of 14 mm¹; B: HCC on VIII segment with maximum diameter of 10 mm¹; C: HCC on VII segment with maximum diameter of 12 mm¹; D: HCC on VIII segment with maximum diameter of 31 mm¹; E: HCC on IV-II segment with maximum diameter of 14 mm.
