Abstract:

Objective

To compare the clinical efficacy of drug-eluting bead TACE (DEB-TACE) and conventional iodide TACE (c-TACE) in the treatment of unresectable liver cancer.

Methods

The clinical data of 120 cases of primary liver cancer treated in our hospital from September 2015 to July 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including 30 cases in DEB-TACE group and 90 cases in c-TACE group. The clinical effects of the two treatments were analyzed after 1∶1 matching. Primary outcome measures were tumor time to progression and secondary outcome measures were disease control, objective response rate and postoperative complications at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months.

Results

Twenty-three pairs of patients were actually matched, and the baseline characteristics of the two groups were comparable. The median time to tumor progression period of DEB-TACE compared with c-TACE for primary liver cancer was 3 months and 10 months (P = 0.002). The Objective Remission Rate of DEB-TACE group were significantly higher than those of c-TACE group at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months (69%, 78%, 60% and 52% vs 39%, 39%, 26% and 8%, P < 0.05). The Disease Control Rate at 3 months after operation in DEB-TACE group was significantly higher than that in c-TACE group (95% vs 73%, P < 0.05). There was 1 case of postoperative liver abscess (1 case in DEB-TACE group). The patients recovered well after drainage, and there were no serious complications.

Conclusions

DEB-TACE is superior to c-TACE in tumor control in patients with unresectable liver cancer and has better clinical benefits.
