Is computed tomography volumetric assessment of the liver reliable in patients with cirrhosis?
In cirrhotic liver, LV assessed by CT did not correspond to real LW. Liver density changed according to the aetiology and severity of liver disease. Commonly used formulae did not accurately assess LV.
This exploratory study showed that GBL levels increased, VEGF levels decreased, and CEC levels were suppressed during S-1 administration. S-1 appears to have anti-angiogenic activity.
