Abstract:
Objective To investigate the curative effect and safety of transcatheter arterial chemoembo -lization (TACE) containing raltitrexed scheme for primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHCC).Methods From May 2013 to June 2014,a total of 90 patients with inoperable PHCC were treated with TACE containing raltitrexed scheme.The short-term effect,long-term effect and adverse reactions were analyzed.Results Of the 90 patients,complete response was obtained in 23,partial response in 36,stable disease in 24 and progressive disease in 7,the effective rate was 65.6％.The one-year survival rate was 72.2％,the median survival time was 15.9 months,and the progression free survival was 9.1 months.Single factor analysis showed that the statistically significant differences in survival rate existed among the patients with different BCLC staging,combination therapy,lipiodol deposit pattern and vascular tumor thrombus (P＜0.05).Multivariate analysis of Cox model indicated that BCLC staging (x2=9.83,P=0.002) and combined therapy (x2=6.40,P=0.011) were independent prognostic factors.The main adverse reactions were fever,pain,vomiting and bone marrow suppression.Grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ adverse reactions were rare and no treatment-related death occurred.Conclusion For the treatment of inoperable PHCC,TACE containing raltitrexed scheme is effective and safe,and this therapy can be well tolerated by patients.
