Abstract

The purpose of the study was to analyze the clinical effect of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) (Cyberknife) on hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombosis (HCC-PVTT). Data from 50 patients with HCC-PVTT who received Cyberknife from August 2013 to April 2016 was collected for efficacy analysis. Moreover, survival correlation was evaluated by Cox proportionalhazards model. The total effective rate in 1–3 months after treatment was 64.00%, including 7 cases in complete remission, 12 cases in partial remission, 13 cases in stable conditions, and 18 cases with enlargement; a 4–24-months follow-up (with an average of 11.58 ± 2.58 months) showed that median survival, 1-year cumulative survival rate, and 2-year cumulative survival rate were, respectively, 11.86 ± 1.79 months, 48.00%, and 20.00%. Moreover, the Cox proportional-hazards model indicates that it was with no correlation between lesion diameter, classification of liver function, pre-operative alphafetoprotein, types of hepatitis, number of tumors, ascites, types of tumor emboli, total dose, and survival rate. SRS is effective for HCC-PVTT and serves as an ideal treatment clinically to help preserve patients’ lives, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
