Abstract:
Objective To explore the selection of the treatment methods for elderly recurrent small hepatocellular carcinoma(SHCC)and compare their safety.
Methods The data of 106 elderly patients with recurrent small liver cancer who received treatment from September 2015 to August 2017 were retrospectively analyzed,and they were divided into resected group(n=55 cases,resected surgery)and radio frequency group(n=51 cases,radio frequency ablation)according to different treatment methods. SPSS 23.0 statistical software was used. Hospitalization time and total survival time were expressed as(
±
s),independent t test was used. The complication and recurrence rate were expressed by
χ2 test. The cumulative survival rate was analyzed by log rank test.
P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results The length of hospital stay in the re resected group was longer than that in the radiofrequency(RF)group(P<0.05);there was no significant difference in the total survival time between the two groups(P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the overall survival time between the two groups(P>0.05). There was no significant difference in 1-year and 2-year survival rate and recurrence rate between the resected group and the RF group(P>0.05). The total incidence of complications in the radiofrequency group was 9.8%,which was lower than 25.5% in resected group(P<0.05).
Conclusion Compared with secondary resection,percutaneous radiofrequency ablation(PRFA)has significant advantages in postoperative recovery and reduction of complications in elderly patients with recurrent small hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),but the short-term efficacy is similar.
