Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical effect of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with microwave ablation and Apatinib Mesylate in the treatment of intermediate and advanced primary liver cancer.Methods A total of 92 patients with primary liver cancer who were treated in the Department of Oncology of Jiujiang Third People′s Hospital from January 2018 to May 2019 were selected as subjects. They were divided into the microwave ablation group and the Apatinib Mesylate group according to random number table method, with 46 cases in each group. The microwave ablation group was given TACE combined with microwave ablation, and the Apatinib Mesylate group was given TACE combined with Apatinib Mesylate. The disease control rate (DCR), serum marker levels(serum alpha-fetoprotein [AFP], vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF], matrix metalloproteinase-9 [MMP-9], cysteine aspartic proteinase-8 [caspase-8]), adverse events, and short-term survival rate were compared between the two groups. Results The DCR in the microwave ablation group was higher than that in the Apatinib Mesylate group, and the total incidence of adverse events in the microwave ablation group was lower than that in the Apatinib Mesylate group,with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of serum AFP, VEGF and MMP-9 in the microwave ablation group were lower than those in the Apatinib Mesylate group, and the level of caspase-8 in the microwave ablation group was higher than that in the Apatinib Mesylate group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the one-year survival rate between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion TACE combined with Apatinib Mesylate or microwave ablation has a certain effect in the treatment of intermediate and advanced primary liver cancer. The two therapies have similar short-term survival rate, but TACE combined with microwave ablation has a better effect and the advantage of improving serum marker levels.
