Abstract | Introduction:
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation is a relatively new non-invasive treatment for
unresectable HCC but long term survival analysis is lacking. In this study we aim to analysis the
outcome for patients receiving this treatment compared to TACE.
Methods: From Oct 2003 to Sept 2010, 112 patients received HIFU as a treatment of HCC in
Department of Surgery Queen Mary Hospital. 27 patients has HCC larger than 3cm. 54 patient with
matched tumour characteristic receiving TACE as primary treatment were selected for comparison.
Short term outcome and long term survival outcome were analysed.
Results: In the HIFU group (n=27) 46 tumours were ablated. The median age of the patients was 69
(range 49years-84 years). The median tumour size was 4.2cm (range 3-8cm). There were 30.8%
of patients presented with ascites in the HIFU group. In TACE group (n=54), the median age for the
patients was 67 (range 44years-84 years). The median tumour size was 4.8cm (range 3-8cm).
(p=0.119) None of the patient had ascites. There was no hospital mortality in both groups.
In the HIFU group, the complete tumour response (CR) , partial tumour response (PR), stable disease
(SD) and progressive disease (PD) rate was 50%,7.7%,25.6% and 7.7% respectively versus 0%,
21.2%, 63.5% and 15.4% patients had progressive respectively in TACE group according to RECIST
criteria. (p<0.0001) The 1-year, 3 year and 5-year survival was 84.6%, 49.2% and 32.3% respectively
in the HIFU group versus 69.2%, 29.8% and 2.3% respectively in the TACE group. (p=0.001)
Conclusion: High intensity focused ultrasound ablation is a safe and effective method for large
unresectable HCC. The survival benefit is observed over TACE alone in selected patient.
