Abstract
Previous studies have shown that a treatment regimen using epirubicin, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) (ECF) has a survival benefit for gastric cancer patients. Based on these results and the hypothesis that a combination modality has a better therapeutic advantage over a single mode of therapy, the efficacy of multimodal combination therapy using a transarterial infusion of epirubicin and cisplatin, systemic infusion of 5-FU, and additional percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was investigated in this study in comparison with conventional transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). From July 1997 to September 1998, a total of 52 patients with unresectable HCC who underwent at least two cycles of transarterial chemotherapy were enrolled in this study. Among the 52 patients, 30 (ECF group) received a multimodal combination therapy comprising transarterial infusion of epirubicin (50 mg/m2) and cisplatin(60 mg/m2), systemic infusion of 5-FU (200 mg/m2), and additional PEI every 4 weeks, and the remaining 22(ADR group) received conventional TACE using Adriamycin (ADR, 50 mg) and Gelfoam every 8 weeks. During the follow-up period (mean 13.8 +/ -8.5 months), the objective tumor respons...Continue Reading
