ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the therapeutic efficacy of preventive transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) with that of preventive transhepatic arterial infusion (TAI) for patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatectomy. Methods During the period from June 2011 to June 2012 at authors’ hospital, preventive transhepatic interventional therapy was employed in 79 HCC patients within three months after hepatectomy. The followed-up endpoint was in June 2013. The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into TACE group (n=41) and TAI group (n=38). No significant differences in age, sex, preoperative liver function, Child-Pugh scores, tumor size and AFP level existed between the two groups. During interventional procedure , catheterization of proper hepatic artery was performed first, which was followed by angiography in order to clarify that there were no newly-developed tumor vessels or tumor lesions in the residual liver, then the chemotherapeutic agents were infused through the catheter. The emulsion of iodized oil with chemotherapeutic agent was used in the patients of TACE group, while only chemotherapeutic agent was adopted in the patients of TAI group. By using Chi-square test the one-year recurrence rate was determined. Kaplan-Meier estimation method was used to calculate the disease-free survival time, and t test was adopted to estimate the mean hospitalization days. The results were compared between the two groups. Results Of the 79 patients, postoperative recurrence was confirmed in 11, and the overall one-year recurrence rate was 13.9%. The one-year recurrence rate of TACE group and TAI group was 12.20% and 15.79% respectively , and no significant difference in one- year recurrence rate existed between TACE group and TAI group (χ2= 0.213, P = 0.645). The average disease-free survival time of TACE group and TAI group was (21.60 ± 1.52) months and (17.38 ± 3.01) months respectively, the difference between the two groups was of statistical significance (P = 0.038). The mean hospitalization days of TACE group and TAI group were (6.30 ± 1.84) days and (5.89 ± 2.08) days respectively, and the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P = 0.522). Conclusion No significant difference in one-year recurrence rate exists between the patients receiving preventive TACE and the patients receiving preventive TAI after hepatectomy for HCC. Nevertheless , preventive TACE can probably improve the disease-free survival time after hepatectomy.
