ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of sorafenib and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE)in the treatment of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The clinical data of 10 patients with unresectable HCC treated by sorafenib combined with TACE in the Department of Radiology, the First Hospital of China Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. The efficacy was evaluated according to the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors assessment. Survival was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method. Safety was evaluated according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Among the 10 patients, 2 achieved complete response, 3 achieved partial response, 3 achieved stable disease, and 2 experienced progressive disease. The median overall survival of the cohort was 29.5 months. Different degree of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) occurred in 9 patients but all were at grade 3 or lower. The most common ADRs were hand-foot skin reaction (7/10) and diarrhea (6/10).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The combination of sorafenib and TACE is an effective and safe treatment for HCC.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the cause and treatment as well as prevention measures of rarely occurring severe complications after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for primary hepatic carcinoma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>573 consecutive patients with primary hepatic carcinoma underwent a total of 1252 TACE procedures from January 2005 to July 2007. All the patients who developed complications after TACE received imaging and biochemical examinations. The cause, treatment and preventive measures of the complications in the 573 cases were analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There were upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage in 3 cases, hepatic failure in 4, pulmonary embolism in 1, cholecystitis in 4, hepatic encephalopathy in 2, gastric perforation in 1, and intrahepatic biloma in 2 cases. Two patients died of the complications: 1 of hepatic failure and 1 of gastric perforation.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The rarely occurring severe complications after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for primary hepatic carcinoma is correlated with poor hepatic function and portal hypertension before therapy, overdose and reflux of chemotherapeutic agents or allotopic chemoembolism, etc. It can be reduced or prevented through careful selection of proper cases before the treatment, close observation, and protection of hepatic function and gastric mucosa after treatment.</p>
