We aimed to explore the feasibility of microwave ablation (MWA) assisted by three-dimensional visualization system for relapsed HB in children.
From August 2014 to February 2017, five patients with relapsed HB were enrolled. A total of 12 liver tumors were treated with MWA assisted by a three-dimensional visualization system. Follow-up data were obtained in all patients. The residual liver volume, local tumor progression, new intrahepatic tumors, survival outcome, and complications were analyzed.
All tumors were completely ablated in a single session. The mean ablation time per tumor was 9.7 ± 8.6 min, and the median ablation/liver volume ratio was 2.37%. No local tumor progression was observed during a follow-up period of 9-39 months. All patients were still alive at the end of the follow-up. The median progression-free survival time after ablation was 9 months, and the median survival time after ablation was 12 months. No other complications were observed except for fever.
MWA assisted by three-dimensional visualization system appears to be a safe and feasible local treatment for recurrent HB in pediatric patients.
本研究旨在探讨三维可视化系统辅助下微波消融(MWA)治疗儿童复发性肝母细胞瘤(HB)的可行性。
2014 年 8 月至 2017 年 2 月,5 例复发性 HB 患儿纳入研究。共对 12 个肝肿瘤行三维可视化系统辅助下 MWA 治疗。所有患者均获得随访,分析其残肝体积、局部肿瘤进展、新的肝内肿瘤、生存结局及并发症等情况。
所有肿瘤均在单次治疗中完全消融。每个肿瘤的平均消融时间为 9.7±8.6 min,平均消融/肝体积比为 2.37%。随访 9~39 个月,无局部肿瘤进展。随访结束时,所有患者均存活。消融后无进展生存时间的中位数为 9 个月,消融后总生存时间的中位数为 12 个月。除发热外,无其他并发症发生。
三维可视化系统辅助 MWA 治疗儿童复发性 HB 是一种安全、可行的局部治疗方法。
