Abstract:
Objective To summarize the nursing points for patients with mid-stage hepatocellular carcinoma who are receiving radiofrequency ablation (RFA) combined with 131I-chTNT treatment. Methods The clinical data of 12 patients with mid-stage hepatocellular carcinoma, who were encountered at authors’ hospital during the period from Aug. 2009 to Sep. 2011, were retrospectively analyzed. RFA combined with 131I-chTNT was carried out in all patients. Preoperative prophylactic anti-allergy medication and protection measure for the thyroid were employed. After the operation strengthened radiation protection and close observation for complications were conducted. The results were analyzed. Results After active treatment and proper nursing, the tumor shrank in all patients. All the patients were followed up for 5 - 48 months with a median follow- up time of 31 months. The median overall survival time was 43 months. No serious complications such as bone marrow suppression or thyroid dysfunction occurred. Conclusion For the treatment of mid-stage hepatocellular carcinoma, 131I-chTNT combined with RFA has satisfactory therapeutic effect. Close observation for the occurrence of complications and careful nursing can improve the quality of life and prolong the survival time.
