Title: Three dimensional conformal radiation therapy combined with interventional therapy for Primary hepatic carcinoma
Abstract: Objective It is to evaluate the effects of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) combined with 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy(3DCRT) for unresectable primary hepatic carcinoma(PHC).Methods 94 patients of PHC were prospectively randomized investigation.The control group(46 patients) with TACE therapy alone,and the combined group(48 patients) with the therapy of TACE combined with 3DCRT.Results The overall first year,scend year,third year survival rate was 83%,62%,43% in the combined group.It was 52%,25%,15% in the control group.The difference between the two groups was significant(P0.05).But the difference of treatment-related toxicities between these two groups was not significant(P0.05). Conclusion TACE combined with 3DCRT is an effective and feasible approach with minimal trauma in the treatment of PHC.
