Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) combined with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy(3DCRT) for inoperable primary liver cancer.Methods Ninety-six such patients were prospectively randomized to TACE therapy alone group(TACE group-,47 patients) and TACE+3DCRT group(combined group-,49 patients).Results The overall 1-,2-,3-year survival rate was 82%,63%,43% in the combined group.It was 55%,28%,15% in the TACE group.The difference between the two groups was significant(P0.05).Conclusion Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization combined with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy is more effective than transcatheter arterial chemoembolization therapy alone for inoperable primary liver cancer,without inflicting more treatment-related toxicities.
