Abstract:
Objective: To compare effect of the therapeutic hepatic chemoembolization (TACE)alone with that of TACE combined fractionated stereotactic conformal radiation therapy (FSCR) withscheme alternated for primary hepatic cancer were randomly divided into TACE alone group and TACEcombined with FSCR group. Acute effects and survival rates were observed. The cox proportional haz-ards model was used to analyze the prognostic factors.Methods: The overall survival rates in group A(91.1%, 62.2% and 24.4% at 1, 3 and 5 years, respectively) were significantly higher than that in groupB (73.3%, 37.8% and 8.9%, respectively, P<0.05).Conclusions: Radiotherapy plays an important rolefor increasing the therapeutic effect by killing off the cancer cells in border area with portacaval perfu-sion, compared to the treatment with TACE alone. In group A, the number and diameter of the tumor,child- pugh classification and okdua staging are the key factors in clinical prognosis.
