ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the feasibility, reliability and therapeutic effectiveness of adjuvant chemotherapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The clinical data of adjuvant chemotherapy after OLT in 10 advanced HCC patients were studied retrospectively. FAP chemotherapy regimen was adopted calcium folinate (CF) 200 mg/m(2) and 5-Fluorouracil 500 mg/m(2) iv on D1 to D5, and doxorubicin 40 mg/m(2), cisplatin 30 mg/m(2) iv on D1, with 28 days as a cycle. The opportune time of chemotherapy, chemotherapy regimen, synergistic action between cytotoxic agent and immunosuppressive agent on liver and kidney and side-effects were preliminarily evaluated.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>7/10 patients are surviving, with the longest survival of 32 months, and the shortest 9 months. Three patients died after operation, two at 13 months, one at 20 months after OLT, all died of metastasis. The incidence of one year survival was 9/9. During the period of chemotherapy, the side-effects of adjuvant chemotherapy were moderate.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Chemotherapy which is able to prolong the life-span of patients with advanced HCC after orthotopic liver transplantation is feasible and effective, the side-effects were mild. The choice of opportune time of chemotherapy might influence the outcome.</p>
