To evaluate the efficacy of radiotherapy (RT) in patients with advanced unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
A total of 65 patients were treated with RT in the Korea University Medical Center. The median age of the patients was 60 years, and 86.2% were men. 18.5% and 81.5% of the patients were diagnosed as TNM stage II and IV-A, respectively. Treatment response was assessed 4 mo after initiation of RT. Tumor regression rate 1 mo after initiation of RT (TRR1m) was also assessed. Duration of survival was calculated from the initiation of RT.
The objective treatment response was 56.9%. The 12 mo survival rate was 34.7%. Predictive factors for survival were Child-Pugh grade, alpha-fetoprotein level and treatment response. An objective response was achieved more frequently in patients with TRR1m > or = 20% than in those with TRR1m < 20% (P < 0.001).
RT is effective in treating advanced HCC with a tumor response rate of 56.9%.
评估放射治疗(RT)对晚期不可切除肝细胞癌(HCC)患者的疗效。
韩国大学医学中心共有65例患者接受了RT治疗。患者的中位年龄为60岁,男性占86.2%。分别有18.5%和81.5%的患者被诊断为TNM分期II期和IV - A期。在RT开始4个月后评估治疗反应。还评估了RT开始1个月后的肿瘤退缩率(TRR1m)。从RT开始计算生存时间。
客观治疗反应率为56.9%。12个月生存率为34.7%。生存的预测因素为Child - Pugh分级、甲胎蛋白水平和治疗反应。TRR1m≥20%的患者比TRR1m<20%的患者更常获得客观反应(P<0.001)。
RT对晚期HCC有效,肿瘤反应率为56.9%。
