Core Tip Patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) showing portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) have an extremely poor prognosis. The only proposed treatment option for HCC patients with PVTT is sorafenib chemotherapy. However, in Asia, various treatments have been attempted and possible prolongation of overall survival has been repeatedly reported. Here we report the first case of a patient with an initially unresectable advanced HCC and PVTT who underwent curative hepatectomy after sorafenib and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) showing complete histological response. The combination of sorafenib and TACE may be an effective treatment for HCC patients with PVTT.
