At imaging, tumor infiltrating appearance was classified into smooth tumor margin, non-smooth tumor margin, and macrovascular invasion. Adverse events, objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were compared between the two groups.Results: A total of 133 patients (mean age, 53 years ± 12; 117 men) were included: 69 underwent D-TACE-HAIC and 64 underwent DEB-TACE. The patients who underwent D-TACE-HAIC had higher ORR (71.0% vs 53.1%; P = 0.033), longer PFS (median, 9.3 vs 6.3 months; P = 0.005), and better OS (median, 19.0 vs 14.0 months; P = 0.008) than those who underwent DEB-TACE. In subgroup analysis, patients with non-smooth tumor margin (median, 20.8 vs 13.0 months; P = 0.031) or macrovascular invasion (median, 15.0 vs 11.0 months; P = 0.015) had significantly longer OS in D-TACE-HAIC group than in DEB-TACE group; but in patients with smooth tumor margin, OS between the two groups was similar (median, 37.0 vs 35.0 months; P = 0.458). DEB-TACE, non-smooth tumor margin, and macrovascular invasion were independent prognostic factors for poor OS in uni- and multivariable analyses. The incidence of grade 3/4 adverse events was not statistically different between the two groups (37.7% vs 28.1%; P = 0.242).Conclusion: D-TACE-HAIC was tolerable and led to better OS than DEB-TACE in patients with large or huge HCC, especially in those with non-smooth tumor margin or macrovascular invasion.Keywords: liver cancer, high tumor burden, chemoembolization, drug-eluting beads, hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy, survival analysis |
