Abstract:
Objective To compare the effects of CalliSpheres drug-eluting beads transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(DEB-TACE)and conventional TACE(c-TACE)on liver fibrosis and liver function in the treatment of primary hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods A total of 40 patients diagnosed with HCC at Xuzhou Municipal Cancer Hospital of China between October 2020 and October 2022 were enrolled in this study.According to therapeutic scheme,the patients were divided into DEB-TACE group(n=20)and c-TACE group(n=20).The preoperative,and postoperative 5-day and one-month hyaluronidase(HA),type Ⅲ procollagen peptide(P Ⅲ NP),type Ⅳ collagen(CⅣ)and laminin(LN),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),total bilirubin(TBil),albumin(Alb),and prothrombin time(PT)were compared between the two groups.Results The technical success rate was 100％in both groups,and tumor staining completely disappeared immediately after TACE in all patients.The postoperative 5-day levels of HA,LN,P Ⅲ NP,and CⅣ in both groups were remarkably higher than the preoperative ones(P＜0.05).One month after TACE,HA level in the DEB-TACE group was prominently higher than its preoperative value(P＜0.05);HA and LN levels in the c-TACE group were obviously higher than their preoperative values(P＜0.05);and the HA and LN levels in c-TACE group were significantly higher than those in DEB-TACE group(P＜0.05).Five days after TACE,in the DEB-TACE group the AST and PT levels were higher than their preoperative values while the Alb level was lower than its preoperative value(P＜0.05);in the c-TACE group the ALT,AST,TBiL and PT were higher than their preoperative values while the Alb level was lower than its preoperative value(P＜0.05);the ALT and AST levels in the c-TACE group were strikingly higher than those in the DEB-TACE group while Alb level was strikingly lower than that in the DEB-TACE group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Both CalliSpheres DEB-TACE and c-TACE can aggravate liver fibrosis and cause liver function damage.However,the degree of liver fibrosis and liver function damage caused by CalliSpheres DEB-TACE is less than that caused by c-TACE.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,33:259-263)
