PMID- 27566095 OWN - NLM STAT- MEDLINE DCOM- 20170302 LR - 20170302 IS - 1791-7549 (Electronic) IS - 0258-851X (Linking) VI - 30 IP - 5 DP - 2016 09-10 TI - Benefit of Patients with an Early and Progressed State of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Treated with Drug-eluting Beads. PG - 707-12 AB - AIM: To evaluate drug-eluting beads (DEB) for transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) A to D suffering from hepatocellular carcinoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The progression-free interval (PFI), survival and laboratory findings of 46 patients were retrospectively analyzed after DEB TACE. RESULTS: The mean survival interval was 16.93 months. The BCLC A/B group had significantly (p=0.01) longer survival compared to C/D: 20.44 and 10.36 months. Mean PFI was 10.75 months with a significantly (p=0.002) longer PFI of the BCLC A/B group (12.71 months) compared to BCLC C/D (3.91 months). In terms of possible adverse events (AEs) significant changes (p<0.05) were observed in cholinesterase, white blood cells, alkaline phosphatase and C-reactive protein. CONCLUSION: Mean survival and PFI results in the BCLC A/B patient group were comparable to historical controls. In addition, the results suggest that patients with BCLC stage C/D also benefited from DEB TACE. CI - Copyright (c) 2016 International Institute of Anticancer Research (Dr. John G.
