Table 2 Treatment-Related Adverse Events with IFN-a 2b (N=42)
Figure 1 The complete response to interferon-alpha 2b (IFN-a 2b) is illustrated in a female patient who had progressive disease after treatment with transarterial embolization (TAE). (A) Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan reveals multiple intrahepatic lesions. (B) After TAE, intrahepatic tumors progressed (marked with white arrows), and new lesions occurred (marked with red arrows). Then, IFN-a 2b treatment started. (C) Ten months after initiation of IFN-a 2b treatment, the size of tumors had decreased significantly (marked with black arrows). (D) Eighteen months after initiation of IFN-a 2b treatment, the intrahepatic tumors disappeared.

Figure 2 The partial response to interferon-alpha 2b (IFN-a 2b) is illustrated in a male patient who experienced disease reoccurrence after surgery. (A) Small lesions were found 18 months after surgery. (B) Intrahepatic lesions (marked with white arrows) progressed after 12 months of observation. (C) Intrahepatic lesions (marked with white arrows) continued to progress after 24 months of observation, and IFN-a 2b was treatment started. (D) Fifteen months after initiation of IFN-a 2b treatment, the size of tumors decreased (marked with black arrows).
