- Abstract
The article discusses a study on the combination chemotherapy of S-1, a novel oral dehydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) inhibitor, and interferon (IFN)-α for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with extraheptic metastasis. Researchers knew that there is no effective treatment for extrahepatic metastasis of HCC. However, key findings indicated that combination therapy of S-1 and IFN-α appears to be highly effective, with low toxicity in patients with extrahepatic metastases of HCC.
