To identify predictors of a therapeutic effect after transarterial chemoembolisation using drug-eluting beads (DEB-TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Between January 2015 and July 2015, tumour variables and angiographic data were collected for 25 patients (49 target lesions) after they had undergone the DEB-TACE procedure for HCC. The therapeutic effect was evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Cancer of the Liver at follow-up dynamic computed tomography (CT) performed within 1-4 months after the procedure. A p<0.05 was considered significant.
On a target lesion basis, the objective response (TE3/4) rate was 63.3% (31 of 49). On univariate analysis, larger size (≥2 cm) was a predictor of an objective response (p=0.029). The tumour location of the medial (segment 4) or caudate (segment 1) lobe also indicated a poor therapeutic effect (TE1/2), but not at the level of significance (p=0.051). Multivariate analysis identified tumour size (odds ratio, 8.60; 95% confidence interval, 1.87-62.8) and tumour location (odds ratio, 12.2; 95% confidence interval, 2.12-129.8) as significant factors associated with a therapeutic effect. On a patient basis, 10 of 25 (40%) patients showed complete response/partial response. There were no significant differences between complete response/partial response and stable disease/progressive disease regarding age, gender, tumour markers, history of previous treatment, Child-Pugh class, T-stage, or Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer Staging.
A short-term therapeutic effect was associated with tumour size and location on a target lesion basis.
确定使用载药微球经动脉化疗栓塞术(DEB-TACE)治疗肝细胞癌(HCC)后治疗效果的预测因素。
2015年1月至2015年7月期间,收集了25例接受HCC的DEB-TACE手术后的患者(49个靶病变)的肿瘤变量和血管造影数据。在手术后1-4个月内进行的随访动态计算机断层扫描(CT)中,根据肝癌反应评估标准评估治疗效果。p<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
以靶病变为基础,客观缓解(TE3/4)率为63.3%(49个中的31个)。单因素分析显示,较大尺寸(≥2 cm)是客观缓解的预测因素(p=0.029)。内侧(第4段)或尾状叶(第1段)的肿瘤位置也显示治疗效果较差(TE1/2),但未达到显著水平(p=0.051)。多因素分析确定肿瘤大小(比值比,8.60;95%置信区间,1.87-62.8)和肿瘤位置(比值比,12.2;95%置信区间,2.12-129.8)是与治疗效果相关的显著因素。以患者为基础,25例患者中有10例(40%)显示完全缓解/部分缓解。在年龄、性别、肿瘤标志物、既往治疗史、Child-Pugh分级、T分期或巴塞罗那临床肝癌分期方面,完全缓解/部分缓解与疾病稳定/进展之间无显著差异。
基于靶病变,短期治疗效果与肿瘤大小和位置有关。
