The prognosis of patients with portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is poor; without treatment, their survival is less than 3months. We retrospectively evaluated the treatment outcomes of conformal radiation therapy (CRT) in patients with HCC-PVTT.
Thirty-eight HCC patients with PVTT in whom other treatment modalities were not indicated underwent CRT. The total dose was translated into a biologic effective dose (BED) of 23.4-59.5Gy(10) (median 50.7Gy(10)) as the alpha/beta ratio=10. Predictive factors including the age, performance status, Child-Pugh classification, PVTT size, and BED were evaluated for tumor response and survival.
Complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease (PD) were observed in 6 (15.8%), 11 (28.9%), 17 (44.7%), and 4 (10.5%) patients, respectively. The response rate (CR+PR) was 44.7%. The PVTT size (<30 vs. 30mm) and BED (<58 vs. 58Gy(10)) were significant factors for tumor response. The median survival and 1-year survival rate were 9.6months and 39.4%. The Child-Pugh classification (A vs. B) and BED were significant factors for survival.
CRT is effective not only for tumor response but also for survival in HCC-PVTT patients in whom other treatment modalities are not indicated.
肝细胞癌(HCC)合并门静脉癌栓(PVTT)患者的预后较差;未经治疗,其生存期不足3个月。我们回顾性评估了适形放疗(CRT)对HCC-PVTT患者的治疗效果。
38例HCC合并PVTT且不适合其他治疗方式的患者接受了CRT。总剂量转换为生物等效剂量(BED),范围为23.4-59.5Gy(10)(中位数50.7Gy(10)),α/β比值=10。评估包括年龄、体能状态、Child-Pugh分级、PVTT大小和BED等预测因素对肿瘤反应和生存的影响。
分别有6例(15.8%)、11例(28.9%)、17例(44.7%)和4例(10.5%)患者出现完全缓解(CR)、部分缓解(PR)、疾病稳定(SD)和疾病进展(PD)。缓解率(CR+PR)为44.7%。PVTT大小(<30 vs. 30mm)和BED(<58 vs. 58Gy(10))是影响肿瘤反应的重要因素。中位生存期和1年生存率分别为9.6个月和39.4%。Child-Pugh分级(A vs. B)和BED是影响生存的重要因素。
对于不适合其他治疗方式的HCC-PVTT患者,CRT不仅对肿瘤反应有效,而且对生存也有效。
