Abstract:
Objective To study the safety and efficacy of intraoperative implanting slow-released 5-Fu after hepatectomy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods 59 HCC patients undergoing hepatectomy from January 2008 to January 2009 were divided into two groups:to receive slowrelaesed 5-Fu in treatment group and nothing in control group.Postoperatively no patients in both group took chemotherapy.The serous value of WBC,ALT,AST,TBIL and AFP were measured in all cases on 1 day before and 3 weeks after the operation.During the first six months,AFP was measured and imaging studies were done one month after discharge,and every 3 months since then.CT-guided biopsy was used to confirm the recurrence of HCC. Disease-free survival rate and overall survival rate in two groups calculated respectively 6-,12-,18- and 24-months after the operation. Results The serous value of WBC,ALT,AST,TBIL was not different between treatment group and control group 3 weeks after the operation (separately t =0.801,- 0.854,- 1.948,- 0.503,all P > 0.05).AFP was (361.58 ± 431.06) μg/L,( 17.02 ± 15.55 ) μg/L,(43.61 ± 58.03 ) μg/L in treatment group and (495.50 ± 441.63 ) μg/L,(26.82 ±60.46) μg/L,(127.48 ±229.79) μg/L in control group preoperatively,3 weeks and 6 months after the operation.AFP was lower in treatment group than that in control group ( t =- 2.065,P < 0.05 ).The disease-free survival rate in treatment group was 95.8%,91.7%,79.2%,75.0% at 6-,12-,18- and 24-months after the operation,in control group it was 94.3%,71.4%,60.0%,48.6% ( x2 =4.035,P <0.05).The overall survival rate was respectively 100%,95.8%,91.7%,83.3% in treatment group and was 100%,94.3%,77.1%,60.0% in control group( x2 =3.931,P <0.05).Conclusions Intraoperativeimplanting slow-released 5-Fu during the hepatectomy was safe and effective method to reduce the recurrence rate of hepatocellular carcinoma and prolongs postoperative disease free and overall survival in HCC patients undergoing hepatectomy.
