Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is subject to "heat-sink" effects, particularly for treatment of tumors adjacent to major vessels.
In this retrospective study, 104 patients with 137 tumors (40 HCC, 10 ICC and 54 metastatic liver tumors) close to (≤1 cm from) the hepatic venous confluence underwent stereotactic RFA (SRFA) between June 2003 and June 2018. Median tumor size was 3.7 cm (1.4-8.5) for HCC, 6.4 cm (0.5-11) for ICC and 3.8 cm (0.5-13) for metastases. Endpoints comprised safety, local tumor control, overall and disease-free survival.
The overall major complication rate was 16.0% (20/125 ablations), where 8 (40%) were successfully treated by the interventional radiologist in the same anesthetic session and did not prolong hospital stay. 134/137 (97.8%) tumors were successfully ablated at initial SRFA. Local recurrence (LR) developed in 19/137 tumors (13.9%). The median and overall survival (OS) rates at 1-, 3-, and 5- years from the date of the first SRFA were 51.5 months, 73.5%, 67.0%, and 49.7% for HCC, 14.6 months, 60.0%, 32.0% and 32.0% for ICC and 38.1 months, 91.4%, 56.5% and 27.9% for metastatic disease, respectively.
SRFA represents a viable alternative to hepatic resection for challenging tumors at the hepatic venous confluence.
射频消融(RFA)受到“热沉”效应的影响,特别是在治疗靠近大血管的肿瘤时。
在这项回顾性研究中,我们对 104 名 137 个肿瘤(40 个 HCC、10 个 ICC 和 54 个转移性肝肿瘤)靠近(≤1cm 距离)肝静脉汇流处的患者进行了立体定向射频消融(SRFA)治疗,这些患者接受治疗的时间为 2003 年 6 月至 2018 年 6 月。HCC 的肿瘤中位大小为 3.7cm(1.4-8.5),ICC 为 6.4cm(0.5-11),转移性肿瘤为 3.8cm(0.5-13)。终点包括安全性、局部肿瘤控制、总体和无病生存率。
总的主要并发症发生率为 16.0%(20/125 个消融),其中 8 例(40%)在同一次麻醉中由介入放射科医生成功治疗,并未延长住院时间。137 个肿瘤中有 134 个(97.8%)在首次 SRFA 时成功消融。19 个肿瘤(13.9%)出现局部复发(LR)。从首次 SRFA 日期起,1 年、3 年和 5 年的中位及总体生存率(OS)分别为 HCC 为 51.5 个月、73.5%、67.0%和 49.7%,ICC 为 14.6 个月、60.0%、32.0%和 32.0%,转移性疾病为 38.1 个月、91.4%、56.5%和 27.9%。
SRFA 是肝静脉汇流处具有挑战性肿瘤的肝切除术的可行替代方法。
