Abstract: Background: Only 15–20 % of patients with liver tumours can undergo radical surgery. Insufficient future liver remnant volume (FLRV) is one of the main causes of tumours unresectability. Portal vein embolization (PVE) together with administration of haematopoietic stem cells (HSC) may expand the operability of primary unresectable liver tumours. Methods: In this pilot study, the authors reported on five patients (1 hepatocellular carcinoma, 4 colorectal cancer metastases) with FLRV <30 %, who underwent PVE on the side of the tumour with a subsequent application of HSC to the non-embolized branch of portal vein.
