Abstract

Objective: To evaluate long-term survival of residual hepatocellular carcinoma patients after Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) treated with Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT). Subject and method: A prospective, controlled intervention study on 42 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with SBRT and 38 patients treated with TACE using DC Beads. Evaluation of survival by Kaplan Meier curve and Log Rank test. Result: The mean follow-up time was 16.1 ± 7.5 months (4.0-34.2 months). The overall survival time of patients after SBRT (27.67 ± 1.77 months) was different from that after TACE (18.86 ± 1.52 months). The overall survival rates at 12, 24, and 30 months after SBRT were 84.1%, 74.1%, and 68.8%, respectively, with a difference compared with after TACE of 69.4%, 37.9%, 37.9%, respectively. Kinki stage B2, liver tumor size group ≥ 5cm were significantly longer predictors of overall survival after SBRT than after TACE. Conclusion: SBRT is a method with a higher long-term survival outcome than repeat TACE for residual HCC patients after TACE.
