“…Ello es considerado una recurrencia, como se puede observar en la figura 2, y que en nuestro caso alcanzó 27,7%, porcentaje que está en el rango reportado para diferentes modalidades de tratamiento, y que fluctúa entre 3% y 30% (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23) .…”

“…Existing evidence supporting decision making for the treatment of HCE is scarce and primarily based on case series. 7,[13][14][15] The initial trials on the efficacy of albendazole were primarily performed outside of Latin America, and to this day a relative lack of effectiveness data persists. 11 In previous studies on long-term resolution of hepatic cysts after albendazole therapy both the interval to re-evaluation (1, 3, or more years) and the reported efficacy rates (50-75%) have varied.…”

“…Criteria to determine albendazole effectiveness were constructed from the available literature and existing WHO ultrasonographic classification of cyst status. 7,12,13 According to our classification, individual cysts and patients were classified as achieving success (cure or marked improvement) or no success (mild improvement, no change, worsening and/or recurrence), wherein cure was defined as disappearance of the cyst(s) in follow-up ultrasonography and marked improvement was defined as either cyst size reduction of ≥ 25% and/or transition to inactive phase (CE4, CE5), further details are outlined in Table 1 . For cyst level analyses, two observers determined suitability for longitudinal analysis based on cysts having distinctive anatomical localization within the liver.…”

“…The diminution of the cyst size used as an index of a positive response to chemotherapy can be attributed to spontaneous regression of the disease [31]. The time taken to detect a change in the cyst is longer than is generally recognized [35], and significant changes may not be detected until after at least 1 year of treatment.…”
