Description
Hai and co-authors present in 2024 four cases of liver cancer with tumor clots reaching the large vein to the heart, or the heart chamber itself. Such spread worsens outlook a great deal. All four men had surgery to remove liver tissue and the clot at one center.
Targeted and immune drugs were given after surgery in the care plans. One man was alive 74 months after care. Another had a liver transplant at 54 months with no return. The other two stayed disease free at 27 and 22 months. The team argues surgery plus paired drug care may extend life in such advanced cases, while calling for more study.
