Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical curative effet and survival condition of sorafenib for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods Sixty-six patients with hepatocellular carcinoma during January 2013 to January 2015 in Chang'an Hospital were included.All patients were randomly divided into transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) group (n =33) and sorafenib + TACE group (n =33) according to the random digital table method.Followed up for 2 years,we observed the clinical curative effect,including 6-months survival rate,1-year survival rate,the changes of serum alpha fetoprotein level before and after the treatment,survival time and related adverse reactions.Results The disease control rate of sora-fenib + TACE group was 84.85％ (28/33),which was significantly higher than that of TACE group (60.61％,20/33),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =4.889,P =0.027).The median survival time of patients with sorafenib +TACE group was 20.30 months,which was longer than that of TACE group (12.50 months),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =29.570,P =0.000).The 6-months and 1-year survival rates in patients with sorafenib + TACE group were 93.93％ and 75.76％,respectively,which were significantly higher than those of TACE group (84.85％,51.52％).The rate of 1-year recurrence and metastasis of sorafenib + TACE group was 21.21％,which was lower than that of TACE group (39.39％),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =2.908,P =0.041).After 6 months treatment,the serum level of alpha fetoprotein in patients with sorafenib + TACE group was (1 911.53 ± 457.86)ng/ml,which was signi-ficantly lower than that of TACE group [(2 979.83± 842.71)ng/ml],and the difference was statistically significant (t =11.996,P =0.001).The median survival time of patients with Child-Pugh A was significantly longer than that of patients with Child-Pugh B (20.50 months vs.13.95 months),with a significant difference (x2 =3.973,P =0.046).Patients in sorafenib + TACE group and TACE group had adverse reactions including nausea,vomiting and abnormal liver function,and there was significant difference in the incidence of untoward effects (87.88％ vs.60.61％;x2 =6.418,P =0.011).Conclusion The application of sorafenib the-rapy in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma based on TACE can effectively improve the disease control rate,prolong the survival time of patients and improve the survival rate of patients.
