Sponsor's own description
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.
