CT-guided percutaneous chemical ablation combined with radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinomas in high-risk locations: lobaplatin vs. ethanol
AMERICAN JOURNAL OF TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH(2022)
摘要
To retrospectively compare the clinical efficacy and safety of CT-guided percutaneous injection of lobapla-tin vs. ethanol for chemical ablation combined with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in patients with hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) in high-risk locations. From January 2017 to June 2018, a total of 41 patients with HCCs in high -risk locations were enrolled and divided into two groups: percutaneous lobaplatin injection (PLI+RFA) group and percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI+RFA) group. The mixture of lobaplatin or ethanol was accurately injected into the high-risk part of the tumors, while RFA ablated the non-high-risk part. The efficacy and safety were compared between the two groups. 41 patients had 51 lesions in high-risk locations, including 24 cases with 30 lesions in PLI+RFA group and 17 cases with 21 lesions in PEI+RFA group. The complete ablation rate was 93.3% (28/30) in PLI+RFA group and 90.5% (19/21) in PEI+RFA group (P=1.000). The 2-year local tumor progression rate of PLI+RFA group and PEI+RFA group was 20.0% (6/30) and 19.0% (4/21), respectively (P=1.000). No significant differences were found in time to progression and overall survival between the two groups (P=0.501 and P=0.424, respectively). The incidence and severity of adverse events between the two groups were similar (P > 0.05). No severe complica-tions were observed in both groups. Percutaneous lobaplatin injection combined with RFA in the treatment of HCC in high-risk locations may achieve the complete ablation rate similar to percutaneous ethanol injection combined with RFA, but further research is needed to confirm.
