Abstract
Aims: To assess the influence of various physical factors on the outcome of transarterial chemoembolization combined with γ-ray hypofractionated radiation therapy (TACE-γHRT) for unresectable huge (≥10 cm) hepatocellular carcinoma (UH-HCC) patients.Materials & methods: A total of 162 UH-HCC patients with different tumor locations treated with TACE-γHRT and a retrospective analysis was conducted to evaluate the impacts of selected physical parameters on clinical outcomes.Results: The selected physical factors influenced the clinical outcomes significantly. No adverse events exceeding grade 3 were observed in the enrolled patients.Conclusion: Higher P70 and marginal dose, smaller tumor size and tumor location of neither skin nor gastrointestinal tracts involved were independent predictors for better overall survival and progression free survival.
期刊介绍:
Future Oncology (ISSN 1479-6694) provides a forum for a new era of cancer care. The journal focuses on the most important advances and highlights their relevance in the clinical setting. Furthermore, Future Oncology delivers essential information in concise, at-a-glance article formats - vital in delivering information to an increasingly time-constrained community.
The journal takes a forward-looking stance toward the scientific and clinical issues, together with the economic and policy issues that confront us in this new era of cancer care. The journal includes literature awareness such as the latest developments in radiotherapy and immunotherapy, concise commentary and analysis, and full review articles all of which provide key findings, translational to the clinical setting.
