Abstract：Objective To explore the effect of hepatic transcatheter arterial chemoembolization( TACE) combined with ster-eotactic radiation therapy in primary liver cancer. Methods A retrospective study was performed on 56 patients with large liver cancer admitted in No. 463 Hospital of PLA from March 2010 to March 2014. Patients were divided into the combina-tion therapy group(n=29)and the radiation therapy group(n=27). Patients in the combination therapy group were given TACE combined with stereotactic radiation therapy,and the others in the radiation therapy group were given single stereotac-tic radiation therapy. The short-term effect and long-term survival rate before and after the treatment were compared between the two groups. Results The short-term total effective rate of combination therapy group was 58. 6%,which was obviously higher than that of radiation therapy group ( 44. 4%) , the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0. 05). The survival rate in the combination therapy group and radiation therapy group at 6,12,18 months were 82. 8% versus 66. 7%,58. 6% versus 44. 4%,44. 8% versus 29. 6%,the differences between the two groups were statisti-cally significant(P<0. 05). There were slightly adverse reactions,and all the cases recovered after conventional treatments. Conclusion TACE combined with stereotactic radiation therapy can improve the short-term effect and long-term survival rate of patients with primary liver cancer,and has higher safety.
