PG - 2292-2300 LID - 10.1007/s11605-022-05421-x [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a poor prognosis. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) for locally advanced HCC compared to transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). METHODS: A propensity score-matched cohort study was performed in patients with locally advanced HCC with >/= 4 tumors or portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) who underwent either HAIC using oxaliplatin plus raltitrexed or TACE at three institutions between June 2015 and December 2021. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rates (ORR), and adverse events (AEs) were compared between the groups. RESULTS: After propensity score matching, 62 pairs of patients were evaluated. The HAIC group had longer OS (15.0 [95% CI: 12.1-17.9] vs. 9.0 [95% CI: 5.1-12.9] months; P = 0.034), better PFS (6.7 [95% CI: 5.1-8.3] vs. 4.0 [95% CI: 2.6-5.4] months; P = 0.020), and a higher ORR (RECIST 1.1: 54.8% vs. 11.3%; P < 0.001) than the TACE group in the intention-to-treat population. Compared with the TACE group, Grade 1-2 nausea and vomiting occurred significantly more frequently in the HAIC group. CONCLUSION: Compared to TACE, HAIC significantly increased the ORR of locally advanced HCC with multiple tumors or portal invasion and prolonged survival without causing a significant increase in severe AEs.
