Abstract:
Objective To assess the therapeutic outcomes of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization combined with percutaneous injection of chemoembolization agent intra-portal vein tumor thrombosis for primary hepatic carcinoma accompanied by portal vein tumor thrombus. Methods Thirty patients with primary hepatic carcinoma accompanied by portal vein tumor thrombosis of type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ were randomly divided into two groups. The Child-Pugh ratings (class A and B) of group A and B were 9 vs 9 (class A) and 5 vs 7 (class B) respectively (χ~2 = 0.201, P > 0.05). The constitution of Type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ portal vein tumor thrombus in group A and B were 8 vs 9 and 6 vs 7 respectively (χ~2 =0.002, P>0.05). The median values of ALT, TBIL, ALB and AFP in group A and B were 58.7U/L vs 70.5 U/L (W=191.5, P>0.05), 21.4 μmol/L vs 21.7μmol/L (W=203, P>0.05), 35.3 g/L vs 37.5 g/L (W = 214, P > 0.05) and 680 μg/L vs 873 μg/L (W = 179. 00, P > 0.05) respectively. Group A was treated with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) using emulsion made up of adriamycin, cisplatin, mitomycin and ultraliquidlipiodol plus percutaneous injection of chemoembolization agent intra-portal vein tumor thrombosis using emulsion consisted of cisplatin and ultraliquidlipiadol, while group B was treated with TACE only as a control group. Survival analyses were performed via the Kaplan-Meier test in SPSS11.5 with the log-rank tests with an threshold of 0.05. Results The 3, 6 and 12 months survival cases of group A and B were 11 vs 10, 10 vs 3, and 7 vs 0 respectively. The median survival time of group A and group B were 14.0 months and 4.0 months respectively. The difference of the two groups was significantly (χ~2 =11.728, P<0.01). There was no severe side-effect related to therapy in both groups. Conclusion Comparing with the control group, TACE combined with percutaneous injection of chemoembolization agent intra-portal vein tumor thrombosis could significantly prolong the median survival time of patient with primary hepatic carcinoma accompanied by type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ portal vein tumor thrombosis.
