Complex oncological treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma
Oncological medical history
On the evening of January 13, 2019, the patient was found by his relatives lying on the ground in his home in a hypothermic and weak general condition.
He was taken to the ER where he reported syncope with loss of consciousness as well as lower back and right abdominal pain.
Urgent CT scans of the head, cervical spine, chest, abdomen, and pelvis showed no signs of trauma, bleeding, or ischemia in the head and cervical spine.
Abdominal CT revealed large amounts of free abdominal and pelvic intraperitoneal fluid, as well as oozing and a solitary lesion in segment VI of the liver.
What would you recommend as a next step?
This virtual patient case was created on the basis of clinical practice outside the EU and may, therefore, include an off-label practice.
I agree with playing a virtual patient case authored outside the EU. I will not draw any consequences from this case for my own or any other practice, as this case may contain unapproved use of an approved drug.
