Percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) was carried out for 109 lesions in 85 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) smaller than 3 cm in diameter during the period from Dec. 1982 to Mar. 1989. Therapeutic effect of PEI on HCC was evaluated by ultrasound showing that 15 of 68 HCCs disappeared and the remaining 53 HCCs decreased in size with regression rates ranging from 8% to 88% at 6 months after PEI. Survival rates from PEI calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method showed a 1-yr survival of 92%, a 2-yr survival of 81%, a 3-yr survival of 61%, a 4-yr survival of 55%, and a 5-yr survival of 41%. These survival rates were better than those of patients with HCCs smaller than 3 cm in size who had not received anti-cancer treatment (p less than 0.05).

D006528	Carcinoma, Hepatocellular	A primary malignant neoplasm of epithelial liver cells. It ranges from a well-differentiated tumor with EPITHELIAL CELLS indistinguishable from normal HEPATOCYTES to a poorly differentiated neoplasm. The cells may be uniform or markedly pleomorphic, or form GIANT CELLS. Several classification schemes have been suggested.
