Objective To comparatively observe the efficacy and safety of TACE combined with 125I seeds implantation or lenvatinib for treating hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)complicated with portal vein tumor thrombosis(PVTT).Methods Totally 52 HCC patients complicated with type Ⅱ or type Ⅲ PVTT were enrolled and divided into TACE combined with 125I seeds group(group A,n=27)and TACE combined with lenvatinib group(group B,n=25).Objective response rate(ORR),overall survival(OS)and incidence rate of adverse reaction were compared between groups.Results ORR,the median OS,median OS of type Ⅱ PVTT and median OS of type Ⅲ PVTT was 70.37%(19/27),13.6 months,14.1 months and 13.2 months in group A,and 32.00%(8/25),11.3 months,12.3 months and 10.4 months in group B,respectively.The above indexes in group A were all better than those in group B(all P＜0.05).In group A,the incidence rate of adverse reaction was 48.15%(13/27),and no serious complication occurred.In group B,the incidence rate of adverse reaction was 88.00%(22/25),and severe drug toxicity was noticed in 5 cases(5/25,20.00%).Conclusion The efficacy and safety of TACE combined with 125I seeds were both better than those of TACE combined with lenvatinib for treating HCC complicated with PVTT.

Objective To compare the value of TACE+microwave ablation(MWA)+programmed death-1(PD-1)and TACE+MWA for treating primary hepatic carcinoma(PHC).Methods Data of 80 PHC patients who underwent TACE+MWA+PD-1(observe group)or TACE+MWA treatment(control group)were retrospectively analyzed(each n=40).The baseline data,therapeutic efficacy of PHC and complications were compared between groups.Results No significant difference of baseline data was found between groups(all P＞0.05).The objective response rate(ORR)of observe group and control group was 90.00％and 72.50％,respectively,while the disease control rate(DCR)was 97.50％and 95.00％,respectively,with no significant difference between groups(both P＞0.05).The median overall survival(OS)of observe group and control group was 30.80 months and 15.70 months,respectively,while the median progression free survival(PFS)was 23.35 months and 6.80 months,respectively.OS and PFS of observe group were both longer than those of control group(both P＜0.05).No significant difference of the incidence of complications was detected between groups(all P＞0.05),and all were improved after symptomatic treatment.Conclusion TACE+MWA+PD-1 was superior to TACE+MWA for treating PHC.
