We reported two cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with lung metastases who were treated with a combination of thalidomide and cyproheptadine. The use of cyproheptadine in these two cases was originally for skin itching. Follow-up CT images revealed a complete remission of HCC in both of them after treatment for 6 months and 6 weeks, respectively. A following experimental cell line study demonstrated that cyproheptadine effectively reduced the viability of two HCC cell lines.
我们报告了两例肝细胞癌(HCC)伴肺转移的患者,他们接受了沙利度胺和赛庚啶联合治疗。在这两例患者中,赛庚啶最初用于治疗皮肤瘙痒。随访CT图像显示,分别在治疗6个月和6周后,两例患者的肝癌均完全缓解。随后的实验细胞系研究表明,赛庚啶可有效降低两种肝癌细胞系的活力。
