BACKGROUND/AIMS: To investigate the effectiveness and safety of sorafenib after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
44 intermediate or advanced HCC patients received sorafenib treatment after debulking with RFA therapy. Time to progression (TTP), response rate (RR), duration of sorafenib treatment and adverse effects were evaluated. An explorative comparison was performed with patients treated with sorafenib only.
At 12 months, TTP was 10.3 months (range: 1-32). RR was 61% with 2 complete responses, and duration of sorafenib therapy was 10.9 months (1-32). No new safety concerns were report-ed. With sorafenib only, TTP was 7.2 months (range: 0-38) and RR was 40%, with one complete response; duration of therapy was 7.3 months (0-38).
The sequence of RFA and sorafenib appears effective and safe in HCC patients. These findings could support the use of a sequential treatment with RFA and sorafenib in HCC patients.
背景/目的:探讨索拉非尼在肝细胞癌(HCC)患者射频消融(RFA)后应用的有效性和安全性。
44例中晚期HCC患者在接受RFA减瘤治疗后接受索拉非尼治疗。评估疾病进展时间(TTP)、缓解率(RR)、索拉非尼治疗持续时间及不良反应。对仅接受索拉非尼治疗的患者进行探索性比较。
12个月时,TTP为10.3个月(范围:1 - 32个月)。RR为61%,有2例完全缓解,索拉非尼治疗持续时间为10.9个月(1 - 32个月)。未报告新的安全问题。仅使用索拉非尼时,TTP为7.2个月(范围:0 - 38个月),RR为40%,有1例完全缓解;治疗持续时间为7.3个月(0 - 38个月)。
RFA联合索拉非尼序贯治疗在HCC患者中似乎有效且安全。这些发现可为HCC患者应用RFA和索拉非尼序贯治疗提供支持。
