Diagnósticos:

• Hepatopatía crónica virus hepatitis C
• Lesión ocupantes de espacio (LOE) hepática de 7 centímetros en segmento VIII. Posibles lesiones ocupantes de espacio adyacentes
• Hepatocarcinoma bien diferenciado.


Valorado en dicha Comisión [this refers to the "comisión de lesiones ocupantes de espacio hepática", where he was referred to for assessment] con fecha XXXXX, se decide, dada la edad joven del enfermo, su situación clínica (***Perfumaos status***) y el tamaño y extensión de la lesión (ver arriba técnicas de imagen) que el enfermo es candidato para Quimioembolización + Tratamiento sistémico (Sorafenib)
