肝动脉栓塞化疗联合CIK细胞免疫疗法治疗肝癌的临床对照研究

背景与目的:细胞因子诱导的肿瘤杀伤细胞(cytokine-induced killer cells,CIK cells)对肝癌细胞具有较强的抗肿瘤活性,联合CIK细胞疗法是否能够进一步消除介入治疗后的残留癌细胞或降低介入治疗后的复发率仍需进一步研究证实.本研究拟评价肝动脉栓塞化疗(transcatheter arterial chemoembolization,TACE)联合CIK细胞疗法对肝癌的疗效.方法:146例有TACE指征而无手术切除指征的原发性肝癌患者被分为TACE联合CIK组(72例)及单纯TACE组(74例),并接受相应治疗.主要评价终点指标为无进展生存率和总生存率.结果:联合组半年、1年、2年无进展生存率分别为72.2%、40.4%、25.3%,单纯TACE组分别为34.8%、7.7%、2.6%.两组中位疾病进展时间分别是11个月(95%CI,8～14个月)和5个月(95%CI,4～7个月).联合组半年、1年、2年总生存率分别为90.3%、71.9%、62.4%,单纯TACE组分别为74.6%、42.8%、18.8%.两组中位生存期分别是31个月(95%CI,27～35个月)和10个月(95%CI.7～13个月).TACE次数、ECOG评分状态和CIK细胞免疫治疗是独立的预后因素.结论:TACE联合CIK细胞免疫治疗能明显提高TACE的疗效,在延长无进展生存和总生存期方面起着重要作用.

Efficacy of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization combined with cytokine-induced killer cell therapy on hepatocellular carcinoma:a comparative study

Background and Objective:Cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells have high anti-tumor activity for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Whether CIK cell therapy can eradicate residual cancer cells and prevent or postpone tumor relapse after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) should be testified.This study was to evaluate the efficacy of CIK cell therapy combined with TACE on HCC.Methods:A total of 146 consecutive patients with unresectable HCC were divided into combination group (72 patients treated with...
