JDMS Article Review: Large Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Three subdivisions of anatomy that are included in this case presentation are radiographic anatomy, pathological anatomy and systemic anatomy. Radiographic anatomy is related because they used an abdominal CT scan on Mr.C to reveal the mass in his colon. Pathological anatomy is related to anatomy because they used a pathology report to determine what type of tumor Mr.C had and to study the patterns the disease took in his body. Systemic anatomy relates to the anatomy of this case because the mostly examine the abdominalpelvic region of his body and the digestive system because the mass was found in his colon.

An abdominal ultrasound was performed on September 13, 2017 that indicated a small hemangioma in the left hepatic lobe (Ex. B20F).

The MD Anderson Liver Tumor biospecimen resource has been invaluable for a large number of studies or clinical development. The sixth and subsequent editions of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging of hepatocellular cancer, which was developed by an international consortium led by Jean-Nicolas Vauthey, MD, Professor of Surgery at MD Anderson and co-leader on project 2 of the SPORE, was based upon pathologic review of resected specimens in the Liver Tumor Bank (Vauthey JN J Clin Oncol 2002 20:1527-36). In addition, investigators at MD Anderson examined tissues in the Liver Tumor Bank to elucidate the prognostic significance of the ribonucleoprotein Human Antigen R (HuR) showing that patients with high HuR tumor expression had

Further work up with computed tomography (CT) revealed a renal tumor (Figure 1.1) and a peri-urethral vaginal mass(Figure 1.2). The renal tumor was confirmed to be RCC, at which time she underwent a Laparoscopic Nephrectomy in February 2014. Subsequently she was referred to our service for evaluation of the vaginal mass.

A 14 year old female with no known history of pancreatitis, alcoholism, diabetes, or biliary disease presented for an abdominal sonogram. Her only symptom was generalized upper abdominal pain with no history of nausea, vomiting, weight loss, or appetite changes. Ultrasound images showed a well circumscribed, round, hypoechoic 14-mm lesion within the head of the pancreas and another lesion in the body. Color Doppler analysis showed no internal or peripheral vascularity associated with the lesions. The main pancreatic duct was dilated, measuring at 4 mm. The ultrasound examination was followed by an MRI which demonstrated a 12 mm mass in the pancreatic body that correlated to the

The profession of sonography has been around for over thirteen years; however, if one were to ask the average American what the occupation of a Sonographer entitled, there would likely be a wide-range of answers. When most individuals hear the word “Ultrasound” they will automatically pair this term with “pregnant women.” Very seldom would one put the profession of sonography with other aspects of Health Care such as Cardiac output, or Liver functionality. “Diagnostic sonography is medical two-dimensional and three-dimensional anatomic flow imaging using ultrasound. Ultrasound imaging is not a passive push-button activity but rather an interactive process involving the

Cirrhosis is the 12th leading cause of death in the United States. Cirrhosis affects one of the largest organs in the body, the liver. It is a condition that slowly worsens the liver and is unable to function normally due to chronic injury. Cirrhosis consists of four stages with the fourth stage being the most advanced stage of cirrhosis. When healthy liver cells are damaged and replaced by scar tissue (fibrosis) it’s known as a degenerative disease called cirrhosis. Chronic alcoholism is the leading cause of cirrhosis due to excessive drinking of alcohol, which causes the liver to swell. In sequence with alcoholism and hepatitis C, or alone obesity can be a risk factor in developing cirrhosis. Cirrhosis of the liver is a disease that can affect many individuals if the condition is not caught in early stages it can become deadly.

A review of her medical record indicates a medical history of metastatic appendiceal cancer managed at Moffitt and locally with Dr. Wertheim. Her cancer has metastasis to her bladder. She has a Ileostomy and is follow by Dr Beltran for urology. She was recently admitted to MMH on 10/13/16 for hematuria and chronic abdominal pain and difficulty swallowing her pain pills. She was diagnosed with a UTI and treated with IV ABT. She had a CT of abdomen and pelvis which indicates increased metastasis with new right sided hydronephrosis. She had S/P stent and fulguration.

Their analysis showed out of 240 cases 93.67% cases were non neoplastic 8.62% cases were neoplastic lesions and malignant lesions were

By then a cure is infrequently imaginable by then. As a rule after an individual is diagnosed with pancreatic malignancy they have went to the specialist in the wake of encountering weeks or even months of side effects. The doctor then takes in the story of the sickness, for example, the time of onset, nature and area of ache, and other therapeutic issues. In the midst of the physical exam the doctor may feel a mass in the mid-region and notice swollen in the lymph hubs in the neck, disillusioned skin, as well as skin weight reduction. The lab test may show confirm that bile stream is generally blocked as well as different irregularities. A doctor will regularly request imaging test, for example, Computed tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Ultrasound, and Computerized tomography angiography, or CT output is a scanner that takes various X-beam pictures and a machine remakes them into itemized pictures of within the mid-region. It helps the specialists make pancreatic growth judgment. Attractive echo imaging (MRI) utilizes attractive waves; a scanner then makes itemized pictures of the midriff, specifically the territory around the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. Ultrasound is a kind of imaging test that has safe sound waves reflected off organs in the paunch. Positron discharge tomography (PET) sweep is a radioactive glucose infused into the veins that is consumed by disease cells. A

Liver cancer is complicated to detect at early stage due to the number of symptoms .Several types of risk factor like obesity, cirrhosis, smoking, hepatitis B and hepatitis C or alcoholism are very highly linked to the liver cancer. The medical term that is

Markers of HCV infection are found in 80 to 90% of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma in Japan, 44 to 66% in Italy, and 30 to 50% in the United States (El-Serag and Rudolph,2007). It has been projected that cases of HCV-related hepatocellular carcinoma will continue to increase over the next two to three decades (El-Serag

Liver tumors are abnormal growths in the liver. There are two types mainly, malignant and benign. Most common type of benign tumor is hemangioma. It is a congenital vascular growth. Hepatic adenoma is another type of benign liver tumor that is most commonly seen in females on oral contraceptive pills and others on steroids.It may present with symptoms as spontaneous hemorrhage. Most common malignant tumor of liver is primary liver cancer in china.Hyperplasia is essentially an abnormal vascular growth in the liver vasculature.

In our cohorts we prospectively recruited patients with HCC presented at MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) from January 2000-May 2008 and used as a training cohort. Then, we enrolled patients from the same institution from June 2008-January 2011 and used as the first independent prospective validation cohort and also from different institution, Assiut University Hospital, Egypt from April 2012- September 2013 as the second independent prospective validation cohort. This study was approved by the two institutional Review Boards. Written informed consent for participation was obtained from each study participant. We recruited all patients diagnosed with HCC either pathologically or radiologically confirmed. For the three HCC cohorts, the study involved pathologically or radiologically confirmed HCC; the diagnosis was based

Ultrasound imaging (sonography) first imaging and screening modality which uses high-frequency sound waves to view inside the body. Because ultrasound images are captured in real-time, they can also show movement of the body's internal organs as well as blood flowing through the blood vessels. Unlike X-ray imaging, there is no ionizing radiation exposure associated with ultrasound imaging. This imaging is used to identify the tumors in the liver. On US, HCC often appears as a small lesion with poorly defined margins and coarse irregular internal echoes. When the tumor grows, it can sometimes appear heterogeneous with fibrosis, fatty change and calcifications.
