Rupam Manna: Not All Portal Vein Involvement in HCC Is the Same
Rupam Manna, Postdoctoral Student – DrNB Medical Oncology at National Board of Examinations, shared a post on X:
“Not all portal vein involvement in HCC is the same.
The Vp classification helps define the extent of portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) – one of the most important factors influencing prognosis and treatment strategy in hepatocellular carcinoma.
- Vp0–Vp2: Early vascular involvement where selected patients may still benefit from surgery or locoregional therapies.
- Vp3–Vp4: Major portal vein invasion, usually requiring systemic therapy, with Y-90 radioembolization (TARE) emerging as an important option in carefully selected patients.
Understanding the anatomy of portal vein invasion is key to making the right therapeutic decision.
Save this infographic for a quick review and share it with colleagues interested in liver cancer.”
