From January 1988 to January 1993, 45 patients with unresectable advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were treated with a new combination therapy consisting of arterial infusion chemotherapy and TAE. The combination therapy was performed according to our treatment schedule as follows: two courses of arterial infusion chemotherapy were given first, and then transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) using a mixture of Lipiodol and cisplatin powder was performed. Two arterial infusion chemotherapeutic regimens were employed: EPF (etoposide, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil) and EAP (etoposide, Adriamycin or Epi-adriamycin, and cisplatin). The anticancer drugs were infused through a catheter inserted into the proper or common hepatic artery. Assessment was made of the anticancer effect and survival rate of each treatment method. The response to each therapy was evaluated on the basis of CT performed prior to and after the treatment. In the EPF.TAE group, the response rate was about 46%, whereas in the EAP.TAE group it was 48%. Overall, 21 of 45 patients attained a regression rate of 50% or more. Furthermore, daughter nodules decreased in size or disappeared in about 67% of 15 patients. Additionally, tumor thrombi tended to show a similar response. In all of the cases, the average duration of survival was 30.3 months, and the 1-year survival value was 68%, the 2-year survival value was 44%, and the 3-year survival value was 35%. These results were superior to those obtained with TAE therapy alone.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.

D003131 Combined Modality Therapy The treatment of a disease or condition by several different means simultaneously or sequentially. Chemoimmunotherapy, RADIOIMMUNOTHERAPY, chemoradiotherapy, cryochemotherapy, and SALVAGE THERAPY are seen most frequently, but their combinations with each other and surgery are also used.

D005047 Etoposide A semisynthetic derivative of PODOPHYLLOTOXIN that exhibits antitumor activity. Etoposide inhibits DNA synthesis by forming a complex with topoisomerase II and DNA. This complex induces breaks in double stranded DNA and prevents repair by topoisomerase II binding. Accumulated breaks in DNA prevent entry into the mitotic phase of cell division, and lead to cell death. Etoposide acts primarily in the G2 and S phases of the cell cycle.
