Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effect of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization using ethanol and iodized-oil emulsion(TACE-EIOE) on prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). Methods Eighteen patients with histologically-proven HCC were underwent TACE-EIOE. The extent of apoptosis was analyzed by terminal deoxynucleotidy transferase-mediated dUTP-digoxigenin nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining. The expressions of Bcl-2, Bax, p53, Ki-67 and PCNA proteins were detected by immunohistochemical method. Changes of these markers, tumor necrosis, encapsulation, volume, cumulative survival were analyzed. Results Complete tumor necrosis was 33.33%(6/18), severe tumor necrosis was 44.44%(8/18), moderate tumor necrosis was 5.56%(1/18), lesser tumor necrosis was 16.67%(3/18). Apoptosis rate was (22.79?3.34)%. Complete encapsulation was 88.89%(16/18). Evident volume-lessening was 66.67% (12/18), partial volume-lessening was 22.22%(4/18),and stable volume was 11.11%(2/18). Ki-67,PCNA, p53, Bcl-2, and Bax were (30.93?18.10)%, (41.16?11.83)%, (53.41?18.13)%, (6.32?2.10)%, and(58.73?17.32)%, respectively. The cumulative 1-, 2-,and 3-year survival rates were 83.33%,72.22%,and 66.67% for patients, respectively. Conclusions The preoperative TACE-EIOE is safe, it might benefit patients with HCC.
