Abstract:

Objective

To evaluate the efficacy, survival and prognosis of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) alone and TACE in combination with multimodality therapy for the hepatitis C virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCV-HCC).

Methods

The clinical data of 139 patients with HCV-HCC treated in PLA General Hospital from August 2008 to December 2011 were analyzed, retrospectively. Among them, 96 patients were treated with TACE alone (TACE group) and 43 patients treated with TACE plus multimodality therapy (TACE-combined treatment group), according to the different treatment modalities. All the clinicopathological and survival data were analyzed.

Results

The median follow-up of the 139 cases was 23 months (range 1-40 months). The 1-, 2-, and 3-year overall survival (OS) rates of the TACE group were 79.2%, 43.8% and 24.0%, respectively; while 86.0%, 76.7% and 58.1%, respectively, for the combined treatment group (χ2 = 8.691, P = 0.003). The univariate analysis showed that the patients’ gender, age and cirrhosis were not significantly correlated with prognosis of the patients (P all > 0.05), but multimodality therapy, Child’s grading, ECOG scores, levels of AFP, tumor sizes, tumor numbers, portal vein tumor thrombus and BCLC grade were significantly related to overall survival. Moreover, the Cox multivariant survival analysis revealed that tumor size, portal vein tumor thrombus, levels of AFP and BCLC grade were independent prognostic indicators to HCV-HCC, with significant differences (P all < 0.05).

Conclusions

Multimodality therapy is a safe and effective treatment method for hepatitis C virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma.
