April 17, 2018 updated by: Zhiping Yan, Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital

Transarterial Chemoembolisation (TACE) Combined With Endovascular Implantation of Bare Stent and Iodine-125 Seed Strand for the Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma With Portal Vein Tumour Thrombosis Versus TACE Alone

The purpose of this study is to determine whether TACE combined endovascular stent implantation confers a survival benefit over TACE alone.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • (1) Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) diagnosis confirmed by needle biopsy or by two coincidental imaging techniques associated with increased α-fetoprotein according to the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) guidelines and contrast-enhancing tumour thrombus within the main portal vein and one of the first-order branch on CT or MRI;

Exclusion Criteria:

  • advanced liver disease (bilirubin levels >3 mg/dL, ASTor ALT >5 × upper limit of normal);
  • Tumor invade the Inferior Vena Cava, extrahepatic spread;
  • contraindications for doxorubicin or oxaliplatin chemotherapy;
  • any contraindication to an arterial procedure such as impaired clotting tests (platelet count below 50 × 109/L or prothrombin activity below 50 %);
  • renal failure,cardiac ejection fraction <50 %) or end-stage disease;
  • patients who were not capable of cooperation during the procedure.
