We have previously reported the clinical efficacy of water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsion containing anticancer agent. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of transcatheter arterial infusion (TAI) of W/O/W emulsion via a cystic artery for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
TAI of a W/O/W emulsion was performed at our institute in five patients with Stage III or IV HCC with blood supply from the cystic artery. In all patients, 2-12 ml/O/W emulsion was infused via a cystic artery. Therapeutic effects and complications were evaluated in these patients.
Of the five patients treated, one achieved a complete response and two achieved a partial response. After treatment, acute cholecystitis or gallbladder ischemia that required treatment was not encountered in any patient.
W/O/W emulsion can be safely infused via a cystic artery without major complications; it is a good therapeutic option for the patients with advanced HCC fed by a cystic artery.
我们之前报道过含有抗癌剂的水包油包水(W/O/W)乳液的临床疗效。本研究的目的是评估经囊状动脉给予 W/O/W 乳液行经导管动脉内化疗(TAI)治疗肝细胞癌(HCC)的安全性和有效性。
在我院,对 5 例存在囊状动脉供血的 III 或 IV 期 HCC 患者进行了 W/O/W 乳液的 TAI。所有患者均经囊状动脉给予 2-12ml/O/W 乳液。对这些患者的治疗效果和并发症进行了评估。
5 例治疗患者中,1 例完全缓解,2 例部分缓解。治疗后,未发生需要治疗的急性胆囊炎或胆囊缺血等严重并发症。
W/O/W 乳液可安全经囊状动脉输注,无严重并发症,是囊状动脉供血的晚期 HCC 患者的一种较好的治疗选择。
