Summary

Sequential transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a safe and feasible treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This method shows potential for prolonging survival in patients with unresectable HCC.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a primary liver cancer with limited treatment options for unresectable advanced stages.
  • Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a locoregional therapy used for HCC, but its efficacy in advanced disease requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of sequential transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with unresectable advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving 21 patients with unresectable T3 and T4 HCC.
  • Sequential TACE was administered up to six times, with a median interval of 7 weeks between treatments.
  • Treatments involved an emulsion of lipiodol, epirubicin, and cisplatin, performed as unilobar or whole-liver chemoembolization.

Main Results:

  • An average of 3.9 TACE procedures were completed per patient, with a low rate of technical failures and no procedural deaths.
  • For 17 evaluable patients, 6, 12, 18, and 24-month survival rates were 70.6%, 52.9%, 44.1%, and 33.1%, respectively.
  • The procedure demonstrated feasibility in most cases.

Conclusions:

  • Sequential TACE is a safe and feasible therapeutic option for patients diagnosed with unresectable advanced HCC.
  • The findings suggest that sequential TACE may offer survival benefits compared to historical data from untreated patient cohorts.
