ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) on the efficacy and immune function in patients with primary liver cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 152 patients with primary liver cancer from February 2019 to February 2021 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 76 patients were treated with TACE combined with RFA (combined group), and 76 patients were treated with TACE (control group). The efficacy was compared; the α-L fucosidase, T lymphocyte subsets (CD 3, CD 4, CD 8 and CD 4/CD 8), B lymphocyte subsets (CD 19) and tumor markers (alpha-fetoprotein, AFP; carcinoembryonic antigen, CEA; carbohydrate antigen 125, CA125) before treatment and 1 month after treatment were detected. Results:The total clinical effective rate in combined group was significantly higher than that in control group: 81.58% (62/76) vs. 52.63% (40/76), and there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 4.54, P<0.05). There were no statistical difference in all indexes before treatment between 2 groups ( P>0.05); the α-L fucosidase, AFP and CD 8 1 month after treatment in combined group were significantly lower than those in control group: (18.06 ± 5.33) U/L vs. (26.58 ± 7.75) U/L, (87.93 ± 22.55) μg/L vs. (146.83 ± 21.85) μg/L and 0.295 ± 0.052 vs. 0.367 ± 0.064, the CD 3, CD 4 and CD 4/CD 8 were significantly higher than those in control group (0.489 ± 0.054 vs. 0.462 ± 0.063, 0.363 ± 0.059 vs. 0.303 ± 0.075 and 1.43 ± 0.27 vs. 0.89 ± 0.14), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 or<0.05); there was no statistical difference in CEA, CA125 and CD 19 1 month after treatment between 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:TACE combined with RFA in the treatment of primary liver cancer patients can not only improve the total clinical effective rate, but also significantly improve the immune function, and help to reduce level of the liver tumor marker of AFP.
