ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of transcatheter hepatic artery chemoembolization(TACE)between different types of liver cancer patients with portal vein tumor thrombus(PVTT).Methods 413 liver cancer patients with PVTT were divided into two groups,TACE(332 cases)group and control group(81 cases);To compare the survival rate and the curative effect of two group.Results Survival rate in the TACE group of 3 months,6 months,12 months,24 months were 93.4%,71.7%,44.9%,24.4%,in the control group 3 months,6 months,12 months,24 months survival rate were 24.7%,2.5%,0,0.The difference has statistical significance(P＜0.01).In the TACE group,type Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ of PVTT patients treatmented with TACE also has different survival rate and different curative effect(P＜0.01).Conclusion TACE treatment is particularly effective for type Ⅰ,type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ patients of PVTT.
