简要总结

TACE possibly plays a significant role in contributing to a subgroup of surviving residual tumor tissue which is characterized by more aggressive biology. This explains the strong scientific rationale for exploring the role of anti-angiogenic therapy such as sorafenib to remedy and strengthen the therapeutic efficacy of TACE to combat liver cancers. Sorafenib plays a prominent auxiliary role by further suppressing the tumor growth and prolonging the time to recurrence and progression. Performing TACE under sorafenib administration may have synergic effect on hepatic tumoral lesions.

  • Child-Pugh score ≦ 7
  • The patient must have a solitary hepatic tumour greater than 3 cm in diameter or multifocal disease as evidenced by CT or MRI scanning.
  • The target lesion must not have been previously treated with local therapy
  • The patient must not be a candidate for surgical resection or ablation of the tumour. Size of largest tumor ≦10cm in largest dimension
  • Patients who have received previous local therapy treatments (RFA, PEI, cryoablation, surgery, resection) to non-target lesions are eligible
  • Local therapy must have been completed at least 4 weeks prior to baseline scan.

  • Presence of extrahepatic metastasis
  • Predominantly infiltrative lesion
  • Diffuse tumor morphology with extensive lesions involving both lobes.
  • Vascular complications
  • Hepatic artery thrombosis, or
  • Partial or complete thrombosis of the main portal vein, or
  • Tumor invasion of portal branch of contralateral lobe, or
  • Hepatic vein tumor thrombus, or
  • Significant arterioportal shunt not amenable to shunt blockage

  • The patient has received prior treatment for HCC target lesion.
  • History of cardiac disease
  • Congestive heart failure > NYHA class 2; active coronary artery disease
  • Cardiac arrhythmias requiring anti-arrhythmic therapy other than beta blockers or digoxin.
  • Hypertension defined as systolic blood pressure > 150 mmHg or diastolic pressure > 90 mmHg despite optimal medical management.
  • Therapeutic anticoagulation with coumarin, heparins, or heparinoids.
  • Serious non-healing wounds (including wounds healing by secondary intention), acute or non-healing ulcers, or bone fractures within 3 months.
  • Impairment of swallowing that would preclude administration of sorafenib.
  • The patient is, in the opinion of the investigator, unable and / or unwilling to comply with treatment and study instructions.
