ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the value of TACE+microwave ablation(MWA)+programmed death-1(PD-1)and TACE+MWA for treating primary hepatic carcinoma(PHC).Methods Data of 80 PHC patients who underwent TACE+MWA+PD-1(observe group)or TACE+MWA treatment(control group)were retrospectively analyzed(each n=40).The baseline data,therapeutic efficacy of PHC and complications were compared between groups.Results No significant difference of baseline data was found between groups(all P＞0.05).The objective response rate(ORR)of observe group and control group was 90.00％and 72.50％,respectively,while the disease control rate(DCR)was 97.50％and 95.00％,respectively,with no significant difference between groups(both P＞0.05).The median overall survival(OS)of observe group and control group was 30.80 months and 15.70 months,respectively,while the median progression free survival(PFS)was 23.35 months and 6.80 months,respectively.OS and PFS of observe group were both longer than those of control group(both P＜0.05).No significant difference of the incidence of complications was detected between groups(all P＞0.05),and all were improved after symptomatic treatment.Conclusion TACE+MWA+PD-1 was superior to TACE+MWA for treating PHC.
