Twenty-four patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were treated with 80 mg etoposide/m2 for five consecutive days at 4-week intervals. Of the 21 patients evaluated, only one showed a partial response (of 8 weeks, duration). The dose-limiting factor was bone marrow suppression. Grades 3 and 4 white blood cell count toxicity occurred in five (24%) and two (10%) patients, respectively. Alopecia (grades 1 and 2) was observed in 18 patients (57%). The The present study indicates that etoposide has very limited activity against hepatocellular carcinoma.
24例肝细胞癌患者接受依托泊苷治疗,剂量为80mg/m²,连续5天给药,每4周为一个周期。在评估的21例患者中,仅有1例出现部分缓解(持续时间为8周)。剂量限制因素为骨髓抑制。3级和4级白细胞计数毒性分别发生在5例(24%)和2例(10%)患者中。18例患者(57%)出现脱发(1级和2级)。本研究表明,依托泊苷对肝细胞癌的活性非常有限。
