Reassessment of palliative surgery in conversion therapy of previously unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma: Two case reports and review of literature

Figure 3 Post-operative magnetic resonance imaging of case 2 (1-month). A-C: T1-weighted enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) indicated new focal hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence in the caudate lobe, which revealed a high signal in diffusion-weighted imaging, contrast enhancement in the arterial phase and relatively lower signal in the portal phase; D-F: T1-weighted enhanced MRI revealed multiple intrahepatic foci in the remaining right liver, with a high signal in diffusion-weighted imaging, contrast enhancement in the arterial phase and relatively lower signal in the hepatobiliary phase.
