Toshihito Seki,Toru Tamai,Taiichi Nakagawa,M Imamura,Akira Nishimura,Noriyo Yamashiki,Kozo Ikeda,Kyoichi Inoue +7 more
TL;DR: The efficacy of combining transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) with subsequent percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy (PMCT) was assessed in this study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid progression of hepatocellular carcinoma after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and percutaneous radiofrequency ablation in the primary tumour region.
Toshihito Seki,Toru Tamai,Kouzo Ikeda,M Imamura,Akira Nishimura,Noriyo Yamashiki,Taiichi Nakagawa,Kyoichi Inoue +7 more
TL;DR: This is believed to be the first case of a hepatic cancer that progressed rapidly following TACE and PRFA and it is strongly suspected that the tumour was disseminated through the portal system because of the presence pattern of tumours.
Journal ArticleDOI
Percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy for solitary metastatic liver tumors from colorectal cancer: a pilot clinical study
Toshihito Seki,Masayuki Wakabayashi,Taiichi Nakagawa,M Imamura,Toru Tamai,Akira Nishimura,Noriyo Yamashiki,Kyoichi Inoue +7 more
TL;DR: Percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy (PMCT) is a safe and effective treatment for metachronous small solitary liver tumors that have metastasized from colorectal cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Takeshi Todoroki,Yoji Iwasaki,Takao Okamura,Kazuo Nagoshi,Hideo Asakura,Masayuki Nakano,Tetsuo Inada,Hiroshi Tsunemoto,Yoichiro Umegaki,Akira Nishimura,Masao Nakano,Hiroshi Sato +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, intraoperative radiotherapy has been performed on five patients with unresectable, advanced carcinoma of the bile duct at the hepatic hilus and six patients with non-malignancy of the gallbladder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Usefulness of Lens culinaris agglutinin A-reactive fraction of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP-L3) as a marker of distant metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma.
Noriyo Yamashiki,Toshihito Seki,Masayuki Wakabayashi,Taiichi Nakagawa,M Imamura,Toru Tamai,Akira Nishimura,Kentaro Inoue,Akiharu Okamura,S Arita,K Harada +10 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that AFP-L3 is a useful indicator of distant metastasis and a poor prognosis for HCC.
