Brief Summary: Hepatocellular carcinoma HCC is a consequence of liver cirrhosis In early tumour stages tumour resection or liver transplantation are therapeutic options later tumour stages may be treated with locally ablative treatments such as percutaneous ethanol instillation PEI transarterial chemoembolization TACE or radio-frequency thermoablation This randomized study investigates the effect of PEI on survival of patients with HCC All patients will receive hormonal treatment long-acting somatostatin intramuscularly im and will be randomized for treatment with PEI or no additional treatment
Detailed Description: This is a randomized two-arm parallel group study

Study group PEI long-acting somatostatin
Control group long-acting somatostatin alone

Aims of the study

Does treatment with PEI long-acting somatostatin prolong survival as compared to treatment with long-acting somatostatin alone
Can time to tumour progression be extended in patients treated with PEI long-acting somatostatin as compared to treatment with long-acting somatostatin alone
