Hepatic Arterial Infusion Chemotherapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Three-Dimensional Visualization Perspective.

Abstract

In Asia, hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy is an alternative therapeutic option for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the current application of HAIC lacks precision, as drug dosages are typically calculated based solely on body surface area. This approach often results in underdosing for patients with larger liver tumors or greater liver volume and overdosing for those with smaller liver tumors or reduced liver volume. Consequently, determining drug dosages according to the specific target volume requiring treatment may enhance individualized and standardized therapy for HCC, aligning with the principles of precision oncology.
