Abstract
Backround: In HCC, locoregional therapy (LRT) included transarterial chemotheraphy embolisation- TACE is performed as a bridging or downstaging treatment, improved overall survival, or a curative treatment. Liver Imaging Reporting and Data Systems (LI-RADS) Treatment Response was created to evaluate each lesion post TACE, which has localized and suitable for determine whether the tumor is still viable or non-viable.
Purpose: To evaluate the aplication of the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) treatment response algorithm (LR-TR) on CT in patient post-treatment evaluation following drug-eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Material and Methods: Between 6/2021 and 9/2022, a prospective and retrospective cross-sectional study involved 29 patients with hepatocellular carcinomar (HCC) underwent treatment base drug-eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE). The clinical situation, AFP levels and Computer tomography of patient in post treatment were analysed.
Results: a total of 29 patients with median age was 61,3 ± 11.03 years old, male: female was 13.5/1. After first - line Deb-TACE: the performance status response in patient were inprovement in 28/29 patient, AFP response in 31%, LR-TR non-viable in 13 (44.8%) of 29 patients. The performance status response- AFP response- imaging response correlation were not statistically different with p= 0.552 and p=0.647.
Conclusion: Using CT LR-TR to evaluate of HCC post Deb-TACE was an easy-to-use means, suitable for clinical practice, and useful for vascular interventionalist.
