简要总结
Chemoembolization is a recognized treatment strategy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
- classical chemoembolization consists in injecting an emulsion of an anticancer agent in Lipiodol® via the hepatic artery
- doxorubicin, an anthracycline, is the most frequently used drug in lipiodol chemoembolization (LCE)
- however, less than half of HCC respond favourably to classical lipiodol chemoembolization (LCE) with doxorubicin/Lipiodol®
In this trial, we propose to introduce in clinical practice a strategy based on idarubicin to achieve a more effective antitumor effect for the following reasons, recently pointed out by our team:
- idarubicin is an anthracycline that penetrates tumour cells more quickly and is more cytotoxic than doxorubicin on hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines
- idarubicin is injected in a solution of embolization microspheres of a diameter of (300-500µm), which all the progressive and controlled release of the anticancer drug, whereas the doxorubicin/Lipiodol® emulsion is unstable

入选标准
- •Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) proven by cytology or histology or diagnosis according to the 2005 criteria of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, (AASLD), which requires the presence of histological or unequivocal cirhosis and according to the size of nodules:
- •nodule < 1 cm: increase in the size according to US scan every 3-4 months
- •nodule between 1 and 2 cm: 2 concordant imaging techniques: CT-scan, MRI, contrast-enhanced US (CEUS); diagnosis of Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the presence of typical images (hypervascularized arterial + wash-out phase) with 2 imaging methods; in other cases, biopsy.
- •nodule > 2 cm: CT-scan or MRI or CEUS (only 1 technique); diagnosis of Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the presence of hypervascularization associated with either a wash-out image or alphafoetoprotein> 200 µg/L; in other cases, biopsy.
- •A maximum of 3 nodules (Single-lobe disease - no limit to the number of nodules, in bilobar disease - a maximum of 3 nodules) distributed throughout the liver and detected by liver MRI with the injection of Gadolinium chelate, dating back less than 1 month. In cases of a contra-indication for MRI (pacemaker, metallic intra-ocular foreign body, certains cardiac valves et certains intra-cranial clips), a CT-scan with and without iodine-based contrast).

结局指标
主要结局
Tolerance: toxicities will be defined according to the scale: National Cancer Institute - Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTC AE v3.0) to determine the limiting dose
时间窗: total duration of participation for a patient: 2 months
Patients will be hospitalized for 3 days starting from the date of the chemoembolization and will then be followed regularly for 2 months from the date of the chemoembolization (clinical, biological and radiological surveillance).
