| 1 | Hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy using mFOLFOX versus transarterial chemoembolization for massive unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma:a prospective non.randomized study显示文摘Background: Transarterial chemoembolization(TACE) is recommended as the standard care for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) at Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer(BCLC) stage A-B. However, the efficacy of TACE on large(> 10 cm) stage A-B HCC is far from satisfactory, and it is proposed that hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy(HAIC)might be a better first-line treatment of this disease. Hence, we compared the safety and efficacy of HAIC with the modified FOLFOX(mFOLFOX) regimen and those ofTACE in patients with massive unresectable HCC.Methods: A prospective, non-randomized, phase II study was conducted on patients with massive unresectable HCC. The protocol involved HAIC with the mFOLFOX regimen(oxaliplatin, 85 mg/m^2 intra-arterial infusion; leucovorin,400 mg/m^2 intra-arterial infusion; and fluorouracil, 400 mg/m2 bolus infusion and 2400 mg/m^2 continuous infusion)every 3 weeks and TACE with 50 mg of epirubicin, 50 mg of lobaplatin, 6 mg of mitomycin, and lipiodol and polyvinyl alcohol particles. The tumor responses, time-to-progression(TTP), and safety were assessed.Results: A total of 79 patients were recruited for this study: 38 in the HAIC group and 41 in the TACE group. The HAIC group exhibited higher partial response and disease control rates than did the TACE group(52.6% vs. 9.8%, P < 0.001;83.8% vs. 52.5%, P = 0.004). The median TTPs for the HAIC and TACE groups were 5.87 and 3.6 months(hazard radio[HR] = 2.35,95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.16-4.76, P = 0.015). More patients in the HAIC group than in the TACE group underwent resection(10 vs. 3,P = 0.033). The proportions of grade 3-4 adverse events(AE) and serious adverse events(SAE) were lower in the HAIC group than in the TACE group(grade 3-4 AEs: 13 vs. 27, P = 0.007;SAEs: 6 vs. 15,p = 0.044). More patients in the TACE group than in the HAIC group had the study treatment terminated early due to intolerable treatment-related adverse events or the withdrawal of consent(10 vs. 2,P = 0.026).Conclusions: HAIC with mFOLFOX yielded significantly better treatment responses and less serious toxicity than did TACE. HAIC might represent a feasible and promising first-line treatment for patients with massive unresectable HCC. | Min-Ke He Yong Le Qi-Jiong Li Zi-Shan Yu Shao-Hua Li Wei Wei Rong-Ping Guo Ming Shi | 2017 | Chinese Journal of Cancer2017，36，12： | 95 |
| 2 | Radiofrequency ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma:Current status显示文摘Ablation therapy is one of the best curative treatment options for malignant liver tumors,and can be an alternative to resection.Radiofrequency ablation(RFA) of primary and secondary liver cancers can be performed safely using percutaneous,laparoscopic,or open surgical techniques,and RFA has markedly changed the treatment strategy for small hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Percutaneous RFA can achieve the same overall and disease-free survival as surgical resection for patients with small HCC.The use of a laparoscopic or open approach allows repeated placements of RFA electrodes at multiple sites to ablate larger tumors.RFA combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization will make the treatment of larger tumors a clinically viable treatment alternative.However,an accurate evaluation of treatment response is very important to secure successful RFA therapy.Since a sufficient safety margin(at least 0.5 cm) can prevent local tumor recurrences,an accurate evaluation of treatment response is very important to secure successful RFA therapy.To minimize complications of RFA,clinicians should be familiar with the imaging features of each type of complication.Appropriate management of complications is essential for successful RFA treatment. | Yasunori Minami Masatoshi Kudo | 2010 | World Journal of Radiology2010，2，11： | 40 |
| 3 | Meta-analysis of radiofrequency ablation in combination with transarterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM: To compare radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) with RFA monotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS: We searched PubMed, Medline, Embase and Chinese databases (CBMdisc and Wanfang data) for randomized controlled trails comparing RFA plus TACE and RFA alone for treatment of HCC from January 2000 to December 2012. The overall survival rate, re-currence-free survival rate, tumor progression rate, and safety were analyzed and compared. The analysis was conducted on dichotomous outcomes and the standard meta-analytical techniques were used. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95%CIs were calculated using either the fixed-effects or random-effects model. For each meta-analysis, the χ2 and I2 tests were first calculated to assess the heterogeneity of the included trials. For P<0.05 and I 2>50%, the assumption of homogeneity was deemed invalid, and the random-effects model wasused; otherwise, data were assessed using the fixed-effects model. All statistical analysis was conducted us-ing Review manager (version 4.2.2.) from the Cochrane collaboration. RESULTS: Eight randomized controlled trials were identified as eligible for inclusion in this analysis and included 598 patients with 306 treated with RFA plus TACE and 292 with RFA alone. Our data analysis indicated that RFA plus TACE was associated a sig-nificantly higher overall survival rate (OR 1-year=2.96, 95%CI: 1.84-7.74, P<0.001; OR 2-year=3.72, 95%CI: 1.24-11.16, P=0.02; OR 3-year=2.65, 95%CI: 1.81-3.86, P<0.001) and recurrence-free survival rate (OR 3-year=3.00, 95%CI: 1.75-5.13, P<0.001; OR 5-year=2.26, 95%CI: 1.43-3.57, P=0.0004) vs that of RFA alone. The tumor progression rate in patients treated with RFA alone was higher than that of RFA plus TACE (OR=0.60, 95%CI: 0.42-0.88, P=0.008) and there was no significant difference on major complications between two different kinds of treatment (OR=1.20, 95%CI: 0.31-4.62, P=0.79). Additionally, the meta-analysis data of subgroups revealed that the survival rate was significantly higher in patients with intermediate-and large-size HCC underwent RFA plus TACE than in those underwent RFA monotherapy; however, there was no significant difference between RFA plus TACE and RFA on survival rate for small HCC. CONCLUSION: The combination of RFA with TACE has advantages in improving overall survival rate, and pro-vides better prognosis for patients with intermediate-and large-size HCC. | Jia-Yan Ni Shan-Shan Liu Lin-Feng Xu Hong-Liang Sun Yao-Ting Chen | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，24： | 34 |
| 4 | Treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma with portal venous tumor thrombosis: A comprehensive review显示文摘The natural history of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)with portal vein tumor thrombosis(PVTT)is dismal(approximately 2-4 mo),and PVTT is reportedly found in 10%-40%of HCC patients at diagnosis.According to the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer(BCLC)Staging System(which is the most widely adopted HCC management guideline),sorafenib is the standard of care for advanced HCC(i.e.,BCLC stage C)and the presence of PVTT is included in this category.However,sorafenib treatment only marginally prolongs patient survival and,notably,its therapeutic efficacy is reduced in patients with PVTT.In this context,there have been diverse efforts to develop alternatives to current standard systemic chemotherapies or combination treatment options.To date,many studies on transarterial chemoembolization,3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy,hepatic arterial chemotherapy,and transarterial radioembolization report better overall survival than sorafenib therapy alone,but their outcomes need to be verified in future prospective,randomized controlled studies in order to be incorporated into current treatment guidelines.Additionally,combination strategies have been applied to treat HCC patients with PVTT,with the hope that the possible synergistic actions among different treatment modalities would provide promising results.This narrative review describes the current status of the management options for HCC with PVTT,with a focus on overall survival. | Kichang Han Jin Hyoung Kim Gi-Young Ko Dong Il Gwon Kyu-Bo Sung | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016，22，1： | 29 |
| 5 | Association between vascular endothelial growth factor and metastasis after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘BACKGROUND: Hypoxia up-regulates vascular endothelialgrowth factor (VEGF) and stimulates the growth of hepa-tocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. This study was designedto investigate the association between changes in plasmaVEGF levels after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) and HCC progression, especially in relation tometastasis.METHODS: Plasma VEGF levels were measured by quati-tative sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA R&D system). Plasma VEGF levels were measuredbefore, 3 days and 4 weeks after TACE in 30 patients withHCC. The development of metastasis was evaluated at theend of the third month after TACE.RESULTS: The plasma VEGF levels of the 30 patients withHCC were 154.47±90.17 pg/ml. The total plasma VEGFlevels after TACE increased compared with their basal levels(P<0.05), and the plasma VEGF levels had a tendency toincrease in patients with heterogenous uptake of iodizdoiland portal vein thrombosis. Follow-up for six monthsshowed metastatic foci in 20 patients (74%) with increasedplasma VEGF, but none of the patients with decreased plas-ma VEGF developed metastasis.CONCLUSION: Increased plasma VEGF expression is asso-ciated with the development of metastasis in HCC after TA-CE. | Zheng-Ping Xiong, Shu-Ren Yang, Zhao-Yu Liang, En-Hua Xiao, Xiao-Ping Yu,Shen-Ke Zhou and Zi-Shu Zhang, Department of Radiology , Hunan Provincial TumorHospital.

| 6 | Transarterial chemoembolization:Evidences from the literature and applications in hepatocellular carcinoma patients显示文摘Transarterial chemoembolization(TACE) is the current standard of care for patients with large or multinodular hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), preserved liver function, absence of cancer-related symptoms and no evidence of vascular invasion or extrahepatic spread(i.e., those classified as intermediate stage according to the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer staging system). The rationale for TACE is that the intra-arterial injection of a chemotherapeutic drug such as doxorubicin or cisplatin followed by embolization of the blood vessel will result in a strong cytotoxic effect enhanced by ischemia. However, TACE is a very heterogeneous operative technique and varies in terms of chemotherapeutic agents, treatment devices and schedule. In order to overcome the major drawbacks of conventional TACE(c TACE), non-resorbable drug-eluting beads(DEBs) loaded with cytotoxic drugs have been developed. DEBs are able to slowly release the drug upon injection and increase the intensity and duration of ischemia while enhancing the drug delivery to the tumor. Unfortunately, despite the theoretical advantages of this new device and the promising results of the pivotal studies, definitive data in favor of its superiority over c TACE are still lacking. The recommendation for TACE as the standard-of-care for intermediate-stage HCC is based on the demonstration of improved survival compared with best supportive care or suboptimal therapies in a meta-analysis of six randomized controlled trials, but other therapeutic options(namely, surgery and radioembolization) proved competitive in selected subsets of intermediate HCC patients. Other potential fields of application of TACE in hepato-oncology are the pre-transplant setting(as downstaging/bridging treatment) and the early stage(in patients unsuitable to curative therapy). The potential of TACE in selectedadvanced patients with segmental portal vein thrombosis and preserved liver function deserves further reports. | Antonio Facciorusso Raffaele Licinio Nicola Muscatiello Alfredo Di Leo Michele Barone | 2015 | World Journal of Hepatology2015，7，16： | 25 |
| 7 | Downstaging disease in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma outside up-to-seven criteria: Strategies using degradable starch microspheres transcatheter arterial chemo-embolization显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the downstaging rates in hepatitis C virus-patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), treated with degradable starch microspheres transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(DSM-TACE), to reach new-Milan-criteria(nM C) for transplantation. METHODS: This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of our institution. From September 2013 to March 2014 eight patients(5 men and 3 women) with liver cirrhosis and multinodular HCC, that did not meet n MC at baseline, were enrolled in this study. Patients who received any other type of treatment such as termal ablation or percutaneous ethanol injection were excluded. DSM-TACE was performed in all patients using Embo Cept? S and doxorubicin. Baseline and follow-up computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging was assessed measuring the longest enhancing axial dimension of each tumor according to the modified Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors measure-ments, and medical records were reviewed.RESULTS: DSM-TACE was successfully performed in all patients without major complication. We treated 35 lesions(mean 4.3 per patient). Six of eight patients(75%) had their HCC downstaged to meet nM C. Every patient whose disease was downstaged eventually underwent transplantation. The six patients who received transplant were still living at the time of this writing, without recurrence of HCC. Baseline age(P = 0.25), Model for End-stage Liver Disease score(P = 0. 77), and α-fetoprotein level(P = 1.00) were similar between patients with and without downstaged HCC. CONCLUSION: DSM-TACE represents a safely and effective treatment option with similar safety and efficacy of conventional chemoembolization and could be successfully performed also for downstaging disease in patients without n MC, allowing them to reach liver transplantation. | Antonio Orlacchio Fabrizio Chegai Stefano Merolla Simona Francioso Costantino Del Giudice Mario Angelico Giuseppe Tisone Giovanni Simonetti | 2015 | World Journal of Hepatology2015，7，12： | 23 |
| 8 | Balloon-occluded transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) is widely accepted as a treatment for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) in the intermediate stage according to the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer(BCLC) guidelines. Recently, balloon-occluded TACE(B-TACE) was developed in Japan. Despite the lack of a clear definition, B-TACE is generally defined as the infusion of emulsion of chemotherapeutic agents with lipiodol followed by gelatin particles under the occlusion of feeding arteries by a microballoon catheter, which leads to the dense lipiodol emulsion(LE) accumulation in HCC nodules. This phenomenon cannot be explained only by the prevention of proximal migration and leakage of embolization materials; it further involves causing local changes in the hemodynamics of the surrounding occlusion artery and targeted HCC nodules. Balloon-occluded arterial stump pressure plays an important role in the dense LE accumulation in targeted HCC nodules. Although randomized controlled trials comparing the therapeutic effect and the prognosis of B-TACE to those of the other TACE procedures, such as conventional-TACE and drug-eluting beads TACE, are still lacking, B-TACE is thought to be a promising treatment. The purpose of this review is to summarize the mechanism, therapeutic effect, indication, prognosis and complications of BTACE. | Takeshi Hatanaka Hirotaka Arai Satoru Kakizaki | 2018 | World Journal of Hepatology2018，10，7： | 22 |
| 9 | Treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with portal vein tumor thrombosis: Beyond the known frontiers显示文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most frequent malignant tumors worldwide:Portal vein tumor thrombosis(PVTT)occurs in about 35%-50%of patients and represents a strong negative prognostic factor,due to the increased risk of tumor spread into the bloodstream,leading to a high recurrence risk.For this reason,it is a contraindication to liver transplantation and in several prognostic scores sorafenib represents its standard of care,due to its antiangiogenetic action,although it can grant only a poor prolongation of life expectancy.Recent scientific evidences lead to consider PVTT as a complex anatomical and clinical condition,including a wide range of patients with different prognosis and new treatment possibilities according to the degree of portal system involvement,tumor biological aggressiveness,complications caused by portal hypertension,patient’s clinical features and tolerance to antineoplastic treatments.The median survival has been reported to range between 2.7 and 4 mo in absence of therapy,but it can vary from 5 mo to 5 years,thus depicting an extremely variable scenario.For this reason,it is extremely important to focus on the most adequate strategy to be applied to each group of PVTT patients. | Lucia Cerrito Brigida Eleonora Annicchiarico Roberto Iezzi Antonio Gasbarrini Maurizio Pompili Francesca Romana Ponziani | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019，25，31： | 21 |

| 11 | Novel multimodal analgesia regimen improves post-TACE pain in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘Backgroud: Transarterial chemoembolization(TACE) is the primary palliative treatment for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). However, it is often accompanied by postoperative pain which hinder patient recovery. This study was to examine whether preemptive parecoxib and sufentanilbased patient controlled analgesia(PCA) could improve the pain management in patients receiving TACE for inoperable HCC. Methods: From June to December 2016, 84 HCC patients undergoing TACE procedure were enrolled. Because of the willingness of the individuals, it is difficult to randomize the patients to different groups. We matched the patients' age, gender and pain scores, and divided the patients into the multimodal group( n = 42) and control group( n = 42). Patients in the multimodal group received 40 mg of parecoxib, 30 min before TACE, followed by 48 h of sufentanil-based PCA. Patients in the control group received a routine analgesic regimen, i.e., 5 mg of dezocine during operation, and 100 mg of tramadol or equivalent intravenous opioid according to patient's complaints and pain intensity. Postoperative pain intensity, percentage of patients as per the pain category, adverse reaction, duration of hospital stay, cost-effectiveness, and patient's satisfaction were all taken into consideration when evaluated. Results: Compared to the control group, the visual analogue scale scores for pain intensity was significantly lower at 2, 4, 6, and 12 h(all P < 0.05) in the multimodal group and a noticeably lower prevalence of post-operative nausea and vomiting in the multimodal group(31.0% vs. 59.5%). Patient's satisfaction in the multimodal group was also significantly higher than that in the control group(95.2% vs. 69.0%). No significant difference was observed in the duration of hospital stay between the two groups. Conclusion: Preemptive parecoxib and sufentanil-based multimodal analgesia regime is a safe, efficient and cost-effective regimen for postoperative pain control in HCC patients undergoing TACE. | Jian-Guo Guo Lu-Ping Zhao Yue-Feng Rao Yin-Ping Gao Xue-Jiao Guo Tan-Yang Zhou Zhi-Ying Feng Jun-Hui Sun Xiao-Yang Lu | 2018 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2018，17，6： | 18 |
| 12 | Ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma following chemoembolization:a western experience显示文摘BACKGROUND: Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a recommended first line therapy for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Serious complications such as neutropenic sepsis and hepatic decompensation are well known, but rupture of HCC following TACE is a rare and potentially fatal complication. The aim of this study was to identify the incidence of ruptured HCC following TACE and the associated risk factors. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed using our liver database with 'chemoembolization', 'ruptured HCC' covering the patients who received chemoembolization from January 1995 to December 2005. There were no exclusions. RESULTS: A total of 294 patients received chemoemboliza- tion in 530 sessions during the 10-year period. Of these, 2 ruptured following treatment (incidence 0.68%). The mean age was 65 years and the interval between the treatment and rupture was 2 and 24 days. The common factors were male sex, large tumor size (range 11-13 cm), and exophytic tumor growth. One patient died 2 days after rupture with hepatic decompensation while the second is alive after a 6-month follow up without tumor recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: Ruptured HCC following TACE is a rare but serious complication. Large tumor size, male sex, and exophytic growth of tumor may be predisposing factors for rupture. | Narendra Battula Parthi Srinivasan Mansoor Madanur Srinivas Prabhu Chava Oliver Priest Mohamed Rela Nigel Heaton | 2007 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2007，6，1： | 17 |
| 13 | Interventional treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most frequent primary malignant tumors in the world. Hepatic resection and liver transplantation are considered optimal for potential treatment of HCC. However, only 20% of HCCs can be surgically treated. And most of surgically-noneligible patients have to receive interventional managements including local ablation and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). In this paper, we review the interventional treatments of HCC. DATA SOURCES: A literature search of PubMed database was conducted and research articles were reviewed. RESULTS: Percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) is usually applied to small HCC for a complete necrosis. Radiofrequency ablation, an alternative to PEI, also causes tumor necrosis and needs fewer times of ablation. Other methods such as acetic acid injection, laser, microwave, etc have enriched local ablation for HCC. High intensity focus ultrasound (HIFU) is thought to be promising. TACE, another common modality, can improve the survival rate of patients with HCC. The newly developed embolic agents and adjuvant rAd-p53 gene therapy are well reported. CONCLUSIONS: Surgically-noneligible HCC can be treated with interventional procedures. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. However, it is still pressing to develop ablative methods as well as new embolic agents for a better prognosis of HCC. | Yong-Song Guan and Yuan Liu Department of Radiology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610041, China | 2006 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2006，5，4： | 17 |
| 14 | Comparative effectiveness of traditional chemoembolization with or without sorafenib for hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM: To compare the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) with associated adverse events (AE) in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) + sorafenib vs TACE alone. METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study we collected data on all consecutive patients with a diagnosis of unresectable HCC between 2007 and 2011 who had been treated with TACE + sorafenib or TACE alone. We hypothesized that the combination therapy is superior to TACE alone in improving the survival in these patients. Data extracted included patient's demographics, etiology of liver disease, histology of HCC, stage of liver disease with respect to model of end stage liverdisease score and Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) classification and Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging for HCC. Computed tomography scan findings, alpha fetoprotein levels, number of treatments and related AE were also recorded and analyzed. RESULTS: Of the 43 patients who met inclusion criteria, 13 were treated with TACE + sorafenib and 30 with TACE alone. There was no significant difference in median survival: 20.6 mo (95%CI: 13.4-38.4) for the TACE + sorafenib and 18.3 mo (95%CI: 11.8-32.9) for the TACE alone (P = 0.72). There were also no statistically significant differences between groups in OS (HR = 0.82, 95%CI: 0.38-1.77; P = 0.61), PFS (HR = 0.93, 95%CI: 0.45-1.89; P = 0.83), and treatment-related toxicities (P = 0.554). CTP classification and BCLC staging for HCC were statistically significant (P = 0.001, P = 0.04 respectively) in predicting the survival in patients with HCC. The common AE observed were abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and mild elevation of liver enzymes. CONCLUSION: Combination therapy with TACE + sorafenib is safe and equally effective as TACE alone in patients with unresectable HCC. CTP classification and BCLC staging were the significant predictors of survival. Future trials with large number of patients are needed to further validate this observation. | Adnan Muhammad Manish Dhamija Gitanjali Vidyarthi Donald Amodeo William Boyd Branko Miladinovic Ambuj Kumar | 2013 | World Journal of Hepatology2013，5，7： | 16 |
| 15 | Hepatocellular carcinoma: Clinical study of long-term survival and choice of treatment modalities显示文摘AIM: To analyze the prognostic factors of 5-year survival and 10-year survival in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, and to explore the reasons for longterm survival and provide choice of treatment modalities for HCC patients. METHODS: From January 1990 to October 2012, 8450 HCC patients were included in a prospective database compiled by the Information Center after hospital admission. Long-term surviving patients were included in a 10-year survival group (520 patients) and a 5-year survival group (1516 patients) for analysis. The long-term survival of HCC patients was defined as the survival of 5 years or longer. Clinical and biologic variables were assessed using univariate and multivariate analyses. The survival of patients was evaluated by follow-up data. RESULTS: The long-term survival of HCC patients was associated with the number of lesions, liver cirrhosis and Child-Pugh classification. It was not found to be associated with tumor diameter, histological stage, and pretreatment level of serum α-fetoprotein. The differences in clinical factors between the 5-year survival and the 10-year survival were found to be the number of lesions, liver cirrhosis, Child-Pugh classification, and time elapsed until first recurrence or metastasis. The survival period of different treatment modalities in the patients who survived for 5 years and 10 years showed significant differences: (in order of significance) surgery alone > surgery-transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) > TACE-radiofrequency ablation (RFA) > TACE alone > surgery-TACE-RFA. The 10-year survival of HCC patients was not associated with the choice of treatment modality.CONCLUSION: This retrospective study elucidated survival outcomes, prognostic factors affecting survival and treatment modalities in HCC patients. | Ke-Tong Wu Cun-Chuan Wang Li-Gong Lu Wei-Dong Zhang Fu-Jun Zhang Feng Shi Chuan-Xing Li | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，23： | 15 |
| 16 | Application of gemstone spectral imaging for efficacy evaluation in hepatocellular carcinoma after transarterial chemoembolization显示文摘AIM: To assess the value of gemstone spectral imaging(GSI) in efficacy evaluation in hepatocellular cancer(HCC) after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) treatment.METHODS: Thirty patients with HCC underwent GSI, including nonenhanced, arterial, portalvenous and delayed phase scans, after TACE treatment. Arterial phase images were acquired with GSI for reconstruction of virtual nonenhanced images and color overlay images. Digital subtraction angiography(DSA) was performed in all these patients. Two blinded and independent readers evaluated the data in two reading sessions; standard nonenhanced, arterial, portalvenous, and delayed phase images were read in session A, and the optimal monochromatic images, iodine/water based images and spectrum features were read in session B. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated with the DSA data as the reference standard. The sensitivity and specificity were compared using the χ2 test.RESULTS: DSA revealed 154 lesions in 30 patients, and 100 of them had blood supply. Overall sensitivity and specificity were 72%( 72/100) and 77.8 %(42/54) for session A, and 97%(97/100) and 94.4%(51/54) for session B, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the two reading sessions were significantly different(χ2 = 23.04, χ2 = 7.11, P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Compared with conventional CT, GSI could significantly improve the detection of small and multiple lesions without increasing the radiation dose. Based on spectrum features, GSI could assess tumor homogeneity and more accurately identify residual tumors and recurrent or metastatic lesions during efficacy evaluation and follow-up in HCC after TACE treatment. | Qi-Yu Liu Chuan-Dong He Ying Zhou Dan Huang Hua Lin Zhong Wang Dong Wang Jin-Qiu Wang Li-Ping Liao | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016，22，11： | 15 |
| 17 | Transarterial chemoembolization using degradable starch microspheres and iodized oil in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma: evaluation of tumor response, toxicity, and survival显示文摘BACKGROUND: In a multidisciplinary conference patients with advanced non-resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were stratified according to their clinical status and tumor extent to different regional modalities or to best supportive care. The present study evaluated all patients who were stratified to repeated transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) from 1999 until 2003 in terms of tumor response, toxicity, and survival. A moderate embolizing approach was chosen using a combination of degradable starch microspheres (DSM) and iodized oil (Lipiodol) in order to combine anti-tumoral efficiency and low toxicity. METHODS: Fourty-seven patients were followed up prospectively. TACE treatment consisted of cisplatin (50 mg/m2), doxorubicin (50 mg/m2), 450-900 mg DSM, and 5-30 ml Lipiodol. DSM and Lipiodol were administered according to tumor vascularization. Patient characteristics,toxicity, and complications were outlined. In multivariate regression analyses of pre-treatment variables from a prospective database, predictors for tumor response and survival after TACE were determined. RESULTS: 112 TACE courses were performed (2.4±1.5 courses per patient). Mean maximum tumor size was 75 (± 43) mm, in 68% there was bilobar disease. Best response to TACE treatment was: progressive disease (PD) 9%, stable disease (SD) 55%, partial remission (PR) 36%, and complete remission (CR) 0%. Multivariate regression analyses identified tumor size ≤75 mm, tumor number ≤5, and tumor hypervascularization as predictors for PR. The overall 1-, 2-, and 3-year-survival rates were 75%, 59%, and 41%, respectively, and the median survival was 26 months. Low α-fetoprotein levels (<400 ng/ml) (Odds ratio=3.3) and PR as best response to TACE (Odds ratio=6.7) were significantly associated with long term survival (>30 months, R2=36%). Grade 3 toxicity occurred in 7.1% (n=8), and grade 4 toxicity in 3.6% (n=4) of all courses in terms of reversible leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. The incidence of major complications was 5.4% (n=6). All complications were managed conservatively. The mortality within 6 weeks after TACE was 2.1% (one patient). CONCLUSIONS: DSM and Lipiodol were combined successfully in the palliative TACE treatment of advanced HCC resulting in high rates of tumor response and survival at limited toxicity. Favourable tumor response was associated with tumor extent and vascularization. TACE using DSM and Lipiodol can be considered a suitable palliative measure in patients who might not tolerate long acting embolizing agents. | Timm D Kirchhoff Joerg S Bleck Arne Dettmer Ajay Chavan Herbert Rosenthal Sonja Merkesdal Bernd Frericks Lars Zender Nisar P Malek Tim F Greten Stefan Kubicka Michael P Manns Michael Galanski | 2007 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2007，6，3： | 15 |
| 18 | Recent advances in multidisciplinary management of hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is increasing, and it is currently the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Potentially curative treatment options for HCC include resection, transplantation, and percutaneous ablation, whereas palliative treatments include trans-arterial chemoembolization(TACE), radioembolization, and systemic treatments. Due to the diversity of available treatment options and patients' presentations, a multidisciplinaryteam should decide clinical management of HCC, according to tumor characteristics and stage of liver disease. Potentially curative treatments are suitable for very-early- and early-stage HCC. However, the vast majority of HCC patients are diagnosed in later stages, where the tumor characteristics or progress of liver disease prevent curative interventions. For patients with intermediate-stage HCC, TACE and radioembolization improve survival and are being evaluated in addition to potentially curative therapies or with systemic targeted therapy. There is currently no effective systemic chemotherapy, immunologic, or hormonal therapy for HCC, and sorafenib is the only approved moleculartargeted treatment for advanced HCC. Other targeted agents are under investigation; trials comparing new agents in combination with sorafenib are ongoing. Combinations of systemic targeted therapies with local treatments are being evaluated for further improvements in HCC patient outcomes. This article provides an updated and comprehensive overview of the current standards and trends in the treatment of HCC. | Asmaa I Gomaa Imam Waked | 2015 | World Journal of Hepatology2015，7，4： | 15 |
| 19 | Combined locoregional treatment of patients withhepatocellular carcinoma: state of the art显示文摘In recent years, a combination of intervention therapies has been widely applied in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). One such combined strategy is based on the combination of the percutaneous approach, such as radiofrequency ablation(RFA), and the intra-arterial locoregional approach, such as trans-arterial chemoembolization(TACE). Several types of evidence have supported the feasibility and benefit of combined therapy, despite some studies reporting conflicting results and outcomes. The aim of this review was to explain the technical aspects of different combined treatments and to comprehensively analyze and compare the clinical efficacy and safety of this combined treatment option and monotherapy, either as TACE or RFA alone, in order to provide clinicians with an unbiased opinion and valuable information. Based on a literature review and our experience, combined treatment seems to be a safe and effective option in the treatment of patients with early/intermediate HCC when surgical resection is not feasible; furthermore, this approach provides better results than RFA and TACE alone for the treatment of large HCC, defined as those exceeding 3 cm in size. It can also expand the indication for RFA to previously contraindicated 'complex cases', with increased risk of thermal ablation related complications due to tumor location, or to 'complex patients' with high bleeding risk. | Roberto Iezzi Maurizio Pompili Alessandro Posa Giuseppe Coppola Antonio Gasbarrini Lorenzo Bonomo | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016，22，6： | 15 |
| 20 | ^(131)I-labeled metuximab combined with chemoembolization for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM:To investigate the safety and effectiveness of combined131I-metuximab and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).METHODS:One hundred and eighty-five patients(159men and 26 women)with advanced HCC were enrolled in this study from February 2009 to July 2011.There were 95 patients in the combined metuximab and TACE group,and 90 patients in the TACE only group.The patients were followed for 12 mo.Clinical symptoms,blood cell counts,Karnofsky Performance Score(KPS)evaluation and therapeutic effects according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors were recorded and evaluated.RESULTS:The 1-mo effective rates(complete response+partial response+stable disease)of the test group and control group were 71.23%and 38.89%,respectively(P<0.001).The 6-,9-and 12-mo survival rates were 86.42%,74.07%and 60.49%for the test group and 60.0%,42.22%and 34.44%for the control group(P<0.001).The incidence of adverse events(gastrointestinal symptoms,fever and pain)and blood cell toxicity were significantly higher for the test group than for the control group(P<0.001).No severe131Imetuximab-related complications were identified.With respect to efficacy,patients in the test group had greater improvement in tumor-related pain(P=0.014)and increase in KPS(P<0.001)than those in the control group.CONCLUSION:Combination of131I-metuximab and TACE prolonged the survival time in patients with HCC compared with TACE alone.The combination treatment was safe and effective. | Qing He Wu-Sheng Lu Yang Liu Yong-Song Guan An-Ren Kuang | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，47： | 14 |
