About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Hepatocellular Carcinoma focused on measuring hepatocellular carcinoma, portal vein tumor thrombosis, stents, chemoembolization
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- (1) Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) diagnosis confirmed by needle biopsy or by two coincidental imaging techniques associated with increased α-fetoprotein according to the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) guidelines and contrast-enhancing tumour thrombus within the main portal vein and one of the first-order branch on CT or MRI;
- (2) Child-Pugh classification grade A or B;
- (3)Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 2 or less.
Exclusion Criteria:
- advanced liver disease (bilirubin levels >3 mg/dL, ASTor ALT >5 × upper limit of normal);
- Tumor invade the Inferior Vena Cava, extrahepatic spread;
- contraindications for doxorubicin or oxaliplatin chemotherapy;
- any contraindication to an arterial procedure such as impaired clotting tests (platelet count below 50 × 109/L or prothrombin activity below 50 %);
- renal failure,cardiac ejection fraction <50 %) or end-stage disease;
- patients who were not capable of cooperation during the procedure.
