To retrospectively assess the effect of comprehensive cryosurgery (ablation of intra- and extra-hepatic tumors) plus dendritic cell-cytokine-induced killer cell immunotherapy in metastatic hepatocellular cancer.
We divided 45 patients into cryo-immunotherapy (21 patients), cryotherapy (n = 12), immunotherapy (n = 5) and untreated (n = 7) groups. Overall survival (OS) after diagnosis of metastatic hepatocellular cancer was assessed after an 8-year follow-up.
Median OS was higher following cryo-immunotherapy (32 mo) or cryotherapy (17.5 mo; P < 0.05) than in the untreated group (3 mo) and was higher in the cryo-immunotherapy group than in the cryotherapy group (P < 0.05). In the cryo-immunotherapy group, median OS was higher after multiple treatments (36.5 mo) than after a single treatment (21 mo; P < 0.05).
Cryotherapy and, especially, cryo-immunotherapy significantly increased OS in metastatic hepatocellular cancer patients. Multiple cryo-immunotherapy was associated with a better prognosis than single cryo-immunotherapy.
回顾性评估综合冷冻消融术(肝内和肝外肿瘤消融)加树突状细胞-细胞因子诱导的杀伤细胞免疫疗法治疗转移性肝癌的效果。
我们将 45 名患者分为冷冻免疫治疗组(21 例)、冷冻治疗组(n = 12)、免疫治疗组(n = 5)和未治疗组(n = 7)。经过 8 年的随访,评估转移性肝癌诊断后的总生存期(OS)。
冷冻免疫治疗组(32 个月)或冷冻治疗组(17.5 个月;P < 0.05)的中位 OS 均高于未治疗组(3 个月),且冷冻免疫治疗组高于冷冻治疗组(P < 0.05)。在冷冻免疫治疗组中,多次治疗(36.5 个月)的中位 OS 高于单次治疗(21 个月;P < 0.05)。
冷冻治疗,尤其是冷冻免疫治疗显著提高了转移性肝癌患者的 OS。多次冷冻免疫治疗比单次冷冻免疫治疗的预后更好。
