The new HAIC regimen is effective in treating Vp4 HCC patients, but additional sorafenib use does not provide any survival benefit.
Background: The prognosis of HCC patients with main portal vein invasion (Vp4) is poor. We retrospectively reviewed the therapeutic outcomes with our new HAIC regimen in treating Vp4 HCC patients. Patients and Methods: Seventy-one patients received the new regimen of combining HAIC (daily infusion of cisplatin (10 mg/m(2)), mitomycin-C (2 mg/m(2)) and Leucovorin (15 mg/m(2)) plus 100 mg/m(2) of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) using an infusion pump for 5 consecutive days) with Lipiodol embolization between 2002 and 2018. Twenty-two patients (31.0%) also received sorafenib. The Kaplan-Meier curve was used to calculate progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). The OS of patients with or without additional sorafenib use or extrahepatic spread (EHS) was also compared. Results: Fifty-six patients (78.9%) had Child-Pugh A liver function. The mean maximal tumor size was 10.3 cm. Twenty patients (28.2%) had EHS at their initial diagnosis. The objective response rate according to the Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) and median OS were 64.8% and 13 months. The 1-, 2- and 3-year survival rates were 53.1%, 21.5% and 18.7%, respectively. In the subgroup analysis, there were no significant survival difference between patients with HAIC only vs. HAIC plus sorafenib (14 vs. 13 months) and between patients with vs. without EHS (12 vs. 13 months). Conclusions: Our new HAIC regimen is effective in treating Vp4 HCC patients. Additional sorafenib use with our new HAIC regimen provided no survival benefit.
