To compare the effectiveness of radio-frequency (RF) thermal ablation with that of percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) for the treatment of small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with cirrhosis.
A series of 102 patients with hepatic cirrhosis and either single HCC 5 cm in diameter or smaller or as many as three HCCs each 3 cm or smaller (overall number of lesions, 142) randomly received either RF ablation (n = 52) or PEI (n = 50) as the sole first-line anticancer treatment. Mean follow-up was 22.9 months +/- 9.4 (SD) in the RF group and 22.4 months +/- 8.6 in the PEI group. Prognostic value of treatment techniques was assessed with univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models.
One- and 2-year survival rates were 100% and 98% in the RF group and 96% and 88% in the PEI group, respectively (univariate relative risk [RR] = 0.20; 95% CI: 0.02, 1.69; P =.138). One- and 2-year local recurrence-free survival rates were 98% and 96% in the RF group and 83% and 62% in the PEI group, respectively (univariate RR = 0.17; 95% CI: 0.06, 0.51; P =.002). One- and 2-year event-free survival rates were 86% and 64% for the RF group and 77% and 43% for the PEI group, respectively (univariate RR = 0.48; 95% CI: 0.27, 0.85; P =.012). RF treatment was confirmed as an independent prognostic factor for local recurrence-free survival rates with multivariate analysis (adjusted RR = 0.20; 95% CI: 0.05, 0.73; P =.015).
RF ablation is superior to PEI with respect to local recurrence-free survival rates.
比较射频(RF)热消融术与经皮乙醇注射(PEI)治疗肝硬化患者小肝细胞癌(HCC)的疗效。
102例肝硬化患者,其单个HCC直径为5 cm或更小,或多达3个HCC,每个直径为3 cm或更小(病灶总数142个),随机接受射频消融(n = 52)或PEI(n = 50)作为唯一的一线抗癌治疗。射频组平均随访时间为22.9个月±9.4(标准差),PEI组为22.4个月±8.6。采用单因素和多因素Cox比例风险回归模型评估治疗技术的预后价值。
射频组1年和2年生存率分别为100%和98%,PEI组分别为96%和88%(单因素相对风险[RR]=0.20;95%可信区间:0.02,1.69;P = 0.138)。射频组1年和2年局部无复发生存率分别为98%和96%,PEI组分别为83%和62%(单因素RR = 0.17;95%可信区间:0.06,0.51;P = 0.002)。射频组1年和2年无事件生存率分别为86%和64%,PEI组分别为77%和43%(单因素RR = 0.48;95%可信区间:0.27,0.85;P = 0.012)。多因素分析证实射频治疗是局部无复发生存率的独立预后因素(校正RR = 0.20;95%可信区间:0.05,0.73;P = 0.015)。
在局部无复发生存率方面,射频消融优于经皮乙醇注射。
