Abstract
Background: This review evaluates the efficacy and safety of therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with hepatic vein tumor thrombus (HVTT), inferior vena cava tumor thrombus (IVCTT), and/or right atrium tumor thrombus (RATT).
Research design and methods: A systematic review of PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Wanfang databases up to 22 August 2024, was conducted, focusing on overall survival (OS), progression -free survival (PFS), and adverse reactions.
Results: Seven studies involving 453 patients were analyzed. Treatment strategies included surgery alone, local ± systemic therapy, and surgery with adjuvant therapy. The pooled 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates for all patients were 63.3%, 21.6% , and 8.3%, respectively. Surgery with adjuvant therapy achieved the highest 1-year OS, while local ± systemic therapy led to the best 5-year OS. The pooled 1-, 3-, and 5-year PFS rates for all patients were 56.8%, 9.4%, and 1.6%, respectively. Surgery alone commonly caused ascites and pleural effusion; the local ± systemic therapy commonly caused hepatic dysfunction and platelet abnormalities; and surgery with adjuvant therapy commonly caused peritoneal abscess.
Conclusion: Local ± systemic therapy provided the best long-term OS and manageable complications among the therapeutic strategies for HCC with HVTT, IVCTT, and/or RATT.
背景:本综述评价肝细胞癌(HCC)合并肝静脉肿瘤血栓(HVTT)、下腔静脉肿瘤血栓(IVCTT)和/或右心房肿瘤血栓(RATT)治疗的有效性和安全性。研究设计与方法:对截至2024年8月22日的PubMed、EMBASE、Cochrane Library和万方数据库的相关文献进行系统综述,重点关注总生存期(OS)、无进展生存期(PFS)和不良反应。结果:共分析了7项涉及453例患者的研究。治疗策略包括单纯手术、局部±全身治疗和手术配合辅助治疗。所有患者的1年、3年和5年总生存率分别为63.3% (95% CI 52.7%-73.9%)、21.6% (95% CI 4.9%-38.2%)和8.3% (95% CI 2.9%-13.8%)。手术配合辅助治疗获得最高的1年OS,而局部±全身治疗获得最佳的5年OS。所有患者的1年、3年和5年PFS合计分别为56.8% (95% CI 45.2%-68.4%)、9.4% (95% CI 0.0%-20.0%)和1.6% (95% CI 0.0%-3.8%)。单纯手术多出现腹水、胸腔积液等不良反应,局部±全身治疗多出现肝功能障碍、血小板异常,手术及辅助治疗多伴有腹膜脓肿。结论:在HVTT、IVCTT和/或RATT治疗HCC的三种治疗策略中,局部±全身治疗提供了最佳的长期OS和可控的并发症。注册:普洛斯彼罗,(CRD42024573152)。
