Purpose: To evaluate the short-term clinical efficacy, side effects and risk factors affecting the clinical effectiveness of the combination of lipidol and epirubicin-loaded drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: A total of 120 patients with HCC who underwent DEB-TACE plus lipiodol treatment from December 2017 to August 2020 were enrolled. Short-term local tumor response was evaluated using mRECIST. Postoperative complications and liver function disorders were analyzed on the basis of clinical parameters.
Results: The median overall survival (OS) was 31.44 months (95% CI: 27.24– 35.46 months). According to mRISIST, the disease control rate is 75.8%. The objective response rate was 22.5%. Multivariate analysis showed that tumor size and conversion therapy were the two independent prognostic factors correlated with OS. Postoperatively, liver function showed transient changes and no grade 4 adverse events were observed. Most of the postoperative complications were characterized by post-embolism syndrome.
Conclusion: The combination of lipiodol and DEB-TACE offers effective local control and safety for patients with HCC. Lipiodol used in the DEB-TACE procedure provides several additional benefits for drug-eluting beads embolization. The synergistic effect of these two methods enhances therapeutic efficacy through dual antitumor mechanisms.
