Evaluation of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization combined with radiofrequency capacitive heating on clinical therapeutic effect of metastatic hepatic carcinoma / 介入放射学杂志

Objective To evaluate clinical therapeutic efficacy and adverse effecacy of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)combined with radiofrequency capacitive heating(RCH) for metastatic hepatic carcinoma(MHC). Methods Thirty-nine cases of MHC were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups: study group(n = 19)and control group(n = 20). Before therapy, the Karnofsky's score of the patients was all beyond 60. Results The carcinoma growth rate of the study group was -(0.38 ? 0.22), while that of the control group was -(0.13 ? 0.25), showing significant statistical difference(P 0.05). Conclusion The therapeutic effect of MHC can be further improved by the treatment of TACE combined with radiofrequency capacitive heating without increase of adverse side effects.
