Sorafenib, a potent multikinase inhibitor, lead to a significant improvement in progression free survival and overall survival in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Though sorafenib has proven its efficacy in advanced stage HCC, there are limited reports on the role of sorafenib allowing for curative treatment by down-staging. We herein report a case of advanced HCC with vascular invasion, which showed treatment response by sorafenib therapy as to allow for radiofrequency ablation as curative treatment. The patient was followed-up for 6 mo without recurrence with continued sorafenib therapy.
索拉非尼是一种强效多激酶抑制剂,可显著改善晚期肝细胞癌(HCC)患者的无进展生存期和总生存期。尽管索拉非尼已在晚期HCC中证明了其疗效,但关于索拉非尼通过降期实现根治性治疗作用的报道有限。我们在此报告一例伴有血管侵犯的晚期HCC病例,该病例显示索拉非尼治疗有反应,从而能够进行射频消融作为根治性治疗。该患者在继续索拉非尼治疗的情况下随访6个月无复发。
