Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and prognostic factors in patients with liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma treated by interventional therapy.Methods Follow up information of 80 patients with liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma were analyzed. The survival time and parameters were likely to affect the prognosis revealed by statistical methods. Results It was shown that the over all 0.5,1,2,3year survival rates were 100%,75.8%, 31.5% and 10.8% respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the age, the volume ratio of the tumors/liver, abundance of the tumor vessels, the retention of the lipiodol, resection of the original lesion and the difference of the tumor sizes between pre therapy and post therapy were the significant prognostic factors. Multivariate analysis showed that abundance of the tumor vessels and the difference of the tumor sizes between pre therapy and post therapy were the most significant factors. Conclusions The hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy and embolization are effective to patients with liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma proportionately to the tumor vascular abundance and primary lesion resection.
