目的:探讨肝细胞癌(hepatocellular carcinoma,HCC)射频消融(radio—frequency ablation,RFA)治疗后影响局部肿瘤进展的危险因素。方法:116例患者共152个病灶经RFA治疗后24h行超声造影(Contrast—enhanced Ultrasound,CEUS)检查,对发现残留及消融安全范围不足的病灶及时补充治疗,随访4~19个月,运用统计学方法分析影响局部肿瘤进展的因素。结果:152个病灶中3个病灶初次治疗后CEUS显示有残留,补充治疗后达消融安全范围充足。最终9个病灶(5.9%)显示消融安全范围不足,一个月后影像学结合肿瘤标志物等检查证实两个病灶有残留,7个病灶治疗完全;另外143个(94.1%)治疗后CEUS显示消融安全范围充足的病灶,一个月后影像学结合肿瘤标志物等检查证实治疗完全。随访4-19个月,152个病灶有10个病灶证实有局部复发。运用多因素统计分析,结果显示治疗安全范围、肿瘤生长方式是射频治疗后肿瘤局部复发的独立影响因素。结论:HCC行RFA治疗需重视术前对病灶的生长方式,术后病灶的消融安全范围等的评估,以达到彻底灭活肿瘤。提高RFA疗效的目的。
Objective: Discussing the prognostic factors affecting local tumor progression after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) so as to improve effect evaluation scheme and treat- ment effect. Methods: A total of 152 lesions were studied in 116 patients. Each patient underwent contrastenhanced ultrasound (CEUS) 24 h after RFA. A supplementary therapy was carried out when there was residual or insufficient safety margin. The prognostic factors affecting local tumor progression after 4-19 months' follow up were analyzed. Results: Three of the 152 lesions were proved tumor residual by CEUS after the primary treatment. At the end, 9 lesions (5. 90%) were showed insufficient safety margin on CEUS performed 24 h after RFA. Two of the 9 lesions were proved tumor residual and 7 of the 9 lesions were proved response completely by CECT one month later. The two residual lesions were gave supplementary treatment to achieve sufficient safety margin. The remaining 143 lesions (94.1 %) were showed insufficient safety margin on CEUS performed 24 h after RFA were proved response completely by CECT one month later. Ten of the 152 lesions developed local recurrence after 4-24 months' follow up. Multivariate statistical analysis showed that the safety margin and growth pattern were independent prognostic factors for local tumor progression. Conclusion: Assessing the growth manner of the lesion before RFA and evaluating the safety margin after it are important in improving therapeutic effect.
