Abstract
Aims
To determine the safety and efficacy of microwave ablation (MWA) and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome (DHL) in patients with primary liver cancer (PLC) and metastatic liver cancer (MLC).
Materials and methods
The medical records of patients with primary or metastatic liver cancer who underwent MWA combined with TACE containing DHL from March 2019 to March 2022 were collected and analyzed. Treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were recorded. Local tumor response was evaluated according to the modified RECIST criteria. Local tumor progression-free survival (LTPFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Results
Altogether, 96 patients with liver cancer were included (PLC, n = 45; MLC, n = 51). Forty (41.7%) patients experienced AEs during treatment, and eight (8.3%) patients developed grade 3 AEs. Compared to before treatment, the serum total bilirubin level and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio significantly increased after treatment. The median LTPFS was 14.5 months in patients with PLC and 10.7 months in patients with MLC. The median OS was not reached in patients with PLC or MLC. The 1-month and 3-month disease control rates reached more than 80% in both groups.
Conclusion
MWA combined with TACE with DHL may be a safe and effective method for the treatment of liver cancer.
