Figure 1 A: Axial CT shows a large hyper vascularized CCC in the left liver lobe of patient 4 before therapy; B: In patient 3 axial CT shows hyper vascularized CCC nodules in the lateral right liver; C: After 7 mo of therapy there is marked shrinkage and hypodense transformation of the tumor in PR in patient 4; D: In patient 3 the same changes are apparent in the right liver in PR after 7 mo of therapy.

Figure 2 A: The arteriogram of patient 4 shows a beginning rarefication of the intrahepatic arteries after one chemoembolization; B: After three chemoembolizations the arteriogram of the same patient shows a progressive arterial rarefication with irregular stenoses and occlusions of peripheral branches.
