Journal ArticleDOI
Arterial embolisation or chemoembolisation versus symptomatic treatment in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma: a randomised controlled trial.
Josep M. Llovet,Maria Isabel Real,Xavier Montaña,Ramon Planas,Susana Coll,John J. Aponte,Carmen Ayuso,Margarita Sala,Jordi Muchart,Ricard Solà,Joan Rodés,Jordi Bruix +11 more
TL;DR: Chemoembolisation improved survival of stringently selected patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma and was associated with a significantly lower rate of portal-vein invasion than conservative treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Peripheral arterial vasodilation hypothesis: a proposal for the initiation of renal sodium and water retention in cirrhosis.
TL;DR: The stimulation of the renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system, vasopressin release and sympathetic nervous system associated with cirrhosis is not consonant with primary volume expansion, and favors the “overflow” hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Intravenous Albumin on Renal Impairment and Mortality in Patients with Cirrhosis and Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis
Pau Sort,Miquel Navasa,Vicente Arroyo,Xavier Aldeguer,Ramon Planas,Luis Ruiz-del-Arbol,Lluis Castells,Victor Vargas,Germán Soriano,Mónica Guevara,Pere Ginès,Joan Rodés +11 more
TL;DR: In patients with cirrhosis and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, treatment with intravenous albumin in addition to an antibiotic reduces the incidence of renal impairment and death in comparison with treatment with an antibiotic alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural history of untreated nonsurgical hepatocellular carcinoma: Rationale for the design and evaluation of therapeutic trials
Josep M. Llovet,Javier Bustamante,Antoni Castells,Ramón Vilana,Maria Del Carmen Ayuso,Margarita Sala,Concepció Brú,Joan Rodés,Jordi Bruix +8 more
TL;DR: The outcome of nonsurgical HCC is not homogeneously grim and may be predicted by assessing the presence of symptoms and of an invasive tumoral pattern and Therapeutic trials should be designed and evaluated considering these characteristics.
