Risikofaktoren und Früherkennung
Therapie
-
Die potenziell kurativen Therapieoptionen mit guter Prognose - wie chirurgische
Resektion, Lebertransplantation und lokal ablative Therapie wie RFTA, PEI
und TACE - stehen für den überwiegenden Teil der Patienten, bei denen die
Erkrankung erst in einem fortgeschrittenen Stadium diagnostiziert wird, nicht
mehr zur Verfügung.
-
Unter einem palliativen Aspekt kann bei nicht zu großem Tumor, fehlenden Hinweisen
für eine Gefäßinvasion sowie guter Leberfunktion die TACE lebensverlängernd
wirken.
-
Darüber hinaus gibt es für Patienten mit lokal fortgeschrittenem, multifokalem
oder metastasiertem HCC trotz zahlreicher Studien zur systemischen Chemotherapie,
Hormontherapie und Immunmodulation bisher keine etablierte Therapie mit gesicherter
Wirksamkeit.
-
Eine besondere Herausforderung und Hoffnung liegt deshalb in der weiteren
Erforschung der molekularen Pathogenese und entsprechender zielgerichteter
Therapien, um auch Patienten in fortgeschrittenen Tumorstadien eine effiziente
und verträgliche Behandlungsoption bieten zu können.
-
Grundsätzlich sollten Patienten mit HCC in allen Stadien wegen der Komplexität
der oft interdisziplinären Therapieentscheidungen in Zentren vorgestellt und
möglichst in Studien behandelt werden.
