Abstract

To determine the effects of primary chemoembolization on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Single-center prospective data collection with longitudinal analysis of HRQOL scores obtained via the Short Form-36 (SF-36) assessment tool was performed before and during serial chemoembolization procedures in 73 patients with HCC. Baseline HRQOL scores were evaluated for significant (P < .05) change within the total patient population during 4, 8, and 12 months of treatment, and separately within a subset of 23 patients who underwent three or more chemoembolization procedures. Patients had decreased pretreatment baseline scores within all eight scales of the SF-36 compared with healthy age-adjusted norms. Within the total population, mental health scores improved after 4 months of chemoembolization (rate of change, 5.6; P = .05; n = 48), but no significant change was present at 8 or 12 months. Subset patients experienced improvements of mental health scores after the first (score change, 13; P = .008; n = 21) and second procedures (score change, 12.2; P = .002; n = 23) and improvements of bodily pain scores (score change, 9.9; P = .047; n = 21) after the initial procedure.
