简要总结
Hepatic hemangioma is one of the most common benign tumor of the liver. Although the overall prognosis is good, active interventions are still needed in high-risk patients. Without specific drugs, the main treatment methods include surgical treatments, interventional therapies and radiotherapies. Effective medical treatments are needed urgently. Propranolol has achieved good results in infantile Facial/hepatic hemangioma, and shows some effectiveness in adult hemangioma. Here, investigators intend to evaluate the therapeutic effect of propranolol in adult hepatic hemangioma.
详细描述
In view of the lack of medical treatment for hepatic hemangioma, investigators chose hemangioma patients with a diameter of 5-10 cm and no significant risk of rupture, or those with surgical indications but rejected of surgical, interventional/radiological interventions. After confirmation of no high risk for drugs, oral propranolol was given. The tumor size, objective remission rate, disease control rate, drugs related side effects and other endpoints events were recorded and analyzed, to assess the propranolol could or couldn't effectively control the progress of hepatic hemangioma.

研究组 & 干预措施
propranolol
Propranolol hydrochloride tablets were taken orally three times a day at an initial dose of 30 mg/day, doubled one week later until the daily dose was 1.5 mg/kg. If the dose was unable to increase due to side effects, the maximum dose tolerable was maintained for 6 months.
干预措施: Propranolol Hydrochloride (Drug)
