ABSTRACT
Objective@#To study the efficacy of combined transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) with iodine-125 seed implantation in treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT).@*Methods@#From January 2015 to January 2019, eighty patients with HCC and PVTT who were treated at Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 71 patients were male and 9 were female, aged (53.1±9.9) years. The patients included 48 patients (group A) who were treated with TACE alone and 32 patients (group B) with TACE combined with iodine-125 seed implantation. The survival time and disease control rate (DCR) of the intrahepatic lesions and PVTT in the two groups were compared.@*Results@#There were 32 patients who were successfully implanted with portal vein iodine-125 seed and stents. The DCR of PVTT in group B was significantly better than in group A (90.6% vs. 81.3%, P<0.05). The DCR of the intrahepatic lesions in the two groups was 77.1% (group A) and 90.6% (group B). There was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). The survival times of group A and group B were (8.0±0.6) and (16.0±2.1) months, respectively. The median survival times were (7.6±1.0) and (14.8±1.5) months respectively. Group B had significantly better survival time than Group A, (both P<0.05). Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that tumor size was an independent risk factor of prognosis (Regression coefficient 0.960, HR 0.383, 95% CI 0.158-0.926, P<0.05). 125I treatment was a protective factor of prognosis (Regression coefficient -1.525, HR 0.218, 95% CI 0.100-0.473, P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#For patients with HCC and PVTT, compared with TACE alone, TACE combined with iodine-125 seed implantation could safely and effectively control portal vein tumor thrombus, and prolonged patient survival.
