THIS MONTH’S HIGHLIGHTS

The major role of CT in evaluating treatment response in HCC

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) response to treatment, including locoregional and molecular-targeted therapies, deserves strict post-procedural surveillance and a periodic follow-up in order to assess treatment effectiveness and plan subsequent patient management. New and more specific evaluation criteria have been introduced, which not only consider tumor burden and shrinkage but also estimate the decrease in viable tumor volume.
The major usefulness and high accuracy of CT in monitoring HCC treatment response are addressed in Dr. Anzidei’s Focus, which also highlights the fundamental contribution of this imaging technique in identifying procedure-related complications and the application of more advanced imaging parameters.
