Evaluation of the Transcatheter Intra-arterial Hyperthermo-chemotherapy for Advanced Ovarian Cancer / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of transcatheter intra-arterial hyperthermo-chemotherapy for advanced ovarian carcinoma. Methods 36 patients with unresectable or recurred ovarian carcinoma were divided into two groups randomly: treatment group(n=20) and control group(n=16). Transcatheter intra-arterial infusion warmed to 62 degree chemo-agents via the ovarian tumor supplied artery was performed in the treatment group while routine intraarterial chemotherapy was done in the control group. The CA125 level dynamic change, short-term efficacy and side effect after the interventional procedure were compared between two groups.Results The CA125 level decreased significantly in the treatment group more than that in the control group(?
