We investigated the behavior of circulating endothelial cells (CEC) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) receiving sorafenib, and whether CEC levels were associated with time to progression (TTP).
MATERIALS & METHODS: CECs in advanced HCC patients receiving sorafenib were counted at baseline and every 4 weeks.
Twenty four HCC patients were enrolled in the study. Median TTP was 3.2 months (1-6). Median baseline CEC levels were 67 cells/ml, with an increase of 169.8% after 4 weeks of treatment. Any time CEC levels in patients with a TTP lower than 4 months were higher, but not statistically significant, compared with those in patients with TTP more than 4 months.
Treatment with sorafenib changed CEC levels in HCC patients.
我们研究了接受索拉非尼治疗的肝细胞癌(HCC)患者循环内皮细胞(CEC)的行为,以及CEC水平是否与疾病进展时间(TTP)相关。
对接受索拉非尼治疗的晚期HCC患者在基线时及每4周计数一次CEC。
24例HCC患者纳入本研究。TTP的中位数为3.2个月(1 - 6个月)。基线时CEC水平的中位数为67个细胞/毫升,治疗4周后增加了169.8%。TTP低于4个月的患者在任何时间的CEC水平均高于TTP超过4个月的患者,但差异无统计学意义。
索拉非尼治疗改变了HCC患者的CEC水平。
