The prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with tumor thrombus formation in the main vasculature is extremely poor. Sorafenib combined with transarterial chemoembolization is a novel treatment approach for advanced HCC. In this study, we report two HCC patients with inferior vena cava tumor thrombus who underwent the combination treatment. The overall survival times for these two patients were 44 months and 35 months, respectively. Our report suggests that sorafenib combined with transarterial chemoembolization may be a viable choice for patients with advanced HCC even with inferior vena cava tumor thrombus. Further studies are required to verify the efficacy and safety of this combination therapy for patients with advanced HCC with inferior vena cava tumor thrombus.
在主要脉管系统中形成肿瘤血栓的肝细胞癌(HCC)预后极差。索拉非尼联合经动脉化疗栓塞术是一种针对晚期HCC的新型治疗方法。在本研究中,我们报告了两名接受联合治疗的伴有下腔静脉肿瘤血栓的HCC患者。这两名患者的总生存时间分别为44个月和35个月。我们的报告表明,索拉非尼联合经动脉化疗栓塞术对于即使伴有下腔静脉肿瘤血栓的晚期HCC患者可能是一种可行的选择。需要进一步研究来验证这种联合治疗对伴有下腔静脉肿瘤血栓的晚期HCC患者的疗效和安全性。
