Title: TACE Combined with CT-guided ~(125)I Seeds Implantation for the Treatment of Hepatic Cancer
Abstract: Objective Objective To investigate the technical points and the clinical effectiveness of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) combined with CT-guided 125I seeds implantation for the treatment of liver cancer.Methods 75 cases of hepatic carcinoma were retrospectively collected and divided into group A(41 patients with TACE alone) and group B(35 patients with TACE combined with 125I seeds implantation sequential therapy).Efficacy evaluation was performed in 3 month,6 month and 1 year after the operation by CT scan,and the survival status of 6 month and 1 year were also recorded.Results The overall response(CR+PR) of group A and group B were 36.6%(15/41)and 70.6%(24/34)respectively at 3 months after operation with significant difference(P=0.005).The survival rate at 6 and 12 months in group B(97.1% and 85.3%) were significantly higher than those in group A(73.2% and 41.5%)(P0.01).Conclusion TACE combined with CT-guided 125I seeds implantation could be a safe and effective treatment for liver cancer.
