Abstract
PURPOSE
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of 125I seed strand combined with percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) and hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) for unresectable Bismuth–Corlette III and IV stage hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA).
METHODS
From January 2018 to December 2021, a total of 128 Bismuth–Corlette III and IV stage HCCA patients with obstructive jaundice were included in this single-center retrospective study. Forty-eight patients underwent 125I seed strand combined with PTBD and HAIC (group A). The mean intended dose (r = 10 mm; z = 0; 240 days) in group A was 63.8 ± 0.6 Gy. Eighty cases underwent PTBD plus HAIC (group B). Median overall survival (OS) and median bile duct patency time (BDPT) were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS
In the propensity-score matched (PSM) cohort, the median OS and median BDPT were significantly longer in group A than in group B (44 PSM pairs; OS, 13.6 ± 0.4 vs. 8.7 ± 1.4 months, p < 0.001; BDPT, 12.1 ± 0.5 vs. 6.4 ± 0.7 months, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that the treatment regimen was an independent prognostic factor of OS. There were no serious complications related to 125I seed strand implantation.
CONCLUSIONS
125I seed strand combined with PTBD and HAIC for unresectable Bismuth–Corlette III and IV stage HCCA is safe and effective.
期刊介绍:
Brachytherapy is an international and multidisciplinary journal that publishes original peer-reviewed articles and selected reviews on the techniques and clinical applications of interstitial and intracavitary radiation in the management of cancers. Laboratory and experimental research relevant to clinical practice is also included. Related disciplines include medical physics, medical oncology, and radiation oncology and radiology. Brachytherapy publishes technical advances, original articles, reviews, and point/counterpoint on controversial issues. Original articles that address any aspect of brachytherapy are invited.
