ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the efficacy of surgical treatment combined with immunochemotherapy via portal vein for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with major portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Between January 2001 and December 2005 76 HCC patients with tumor thrombus in portal trunk and (or) the first-order branch were recruited into the study. Patients were divided into group A (n = 29) and B (n = 47). Patients in group A were treated with hepatectomy plus portal thrombectomy in combination with postoperative adjuvant immunochemotherapy administered via portal vein. The immunochemotherapy regimen consisted of 5-Fluorouracil, Adriamycin, platinol and alpha-Interferon (PIAF). Patients in group B were subjected to hepatectomy plus thrombectomy alone. Survival rates were compared between two groups, and prognostic factors were identified.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Half-, One-, two- and three-year cumulative survival rates were markedly greater in group A than group B, being 82.3% vs 52.7%, 46.5% vs 20.2%, 14.3% vs 5.8%, 14.3% vs 5.8%, respectively. Group A had a significantly longer median survival time and median tumor-free survival time as compared with group B, being 11.5 months vs 6.0 months (P = 0.010), 4.5 months vs 2.4 months (P = 0.032), respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that immunochemotherapy, pathological grading and tumor size were independent factors for survival times. And immunochemotherapy and pathological grading were independent factors for tumor-free survival time.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Surgical resection combined with adjuvant immunochemotherapy via portal vein represents as an effective modality for HCC with PVTT.</p>
