摘要:
目的 探讨三维可视化消融辅助系统在肝细胞癌射频消融术中应用的意义。 方法 选取2017年7月—2020年12月于首都医科大学附属北京地坛医院因肝细胞癌行射频消融治疗的患者71例,其中三维组(n=34)术前应用三维可视化消融辅助系统进行射频方案规划,二维组(n=37)术前应用二维影像进行射频方案规划。比较两组患者的一次穿刺成功率、肿瘤完全消融率、无瘤生存期等。计数资料两组间比较选择Fisher精确检验、连续校正的χ2检验或Pearson χ2检验;符合正态分布的计量资料两组间比较采用t检验,非正态分布的计量资料两组间比较采用Mann-Whitney U检验;Kaplan-Meier法绘制生存曲线,Log-rank(Mantel-Cox)检验比较肿瘤复发和生存情况,通过Cox比例风险回归模型分析无瘤生存期的影响因素。 结果 三维组一次性穿刺成功率(94.12%)高于二维组(75.68%)(Pearson χ2=4.183,P=0.041),三维组术中穿刺耗时中位时间(5 min)低于二维组(7 min)(Z=-2.407,P=0.013)。三维组和二维组的消融完全率分别为97.06%和91.89%,两组差异无统计学意义(连续矫正χ2=0.183,P=0.669)。在1、2、4年累积无瘤生存率比较中,三维组分别为90.8%、78.8%和72.8%,二维组分别为61.5%、55.9%和44.7%, 两组差异有统计学意义(χ2=5.073,P=0.024)。多因素Cox回归分析结果显示,术前规划方式、消融是否完全、术后1个月AFP水平为肝细胞癌患者射频消融术后无瘤生存期的独立影响因素(P值均<0.05)。 结论 通过三维可视化消融辅助系统进行肝细胞癌射频消融规划,可以保证射频消融的疗效,降低肝细胞癌复发率,延长患者的无瘤生存期。 Abstract:Objective To investigate the significance of the three-dimensional visualization ablation planning system in radiofrequency ablation for liver cancer. Methods A total of 71 patients who received radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma in Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University from July 2017 to December 2020 were enrolled as subjects. The 34 patients in the three-dimensional group used the three-dimensional visualization ablation planning system for radiofrequency protocol planning before surgery and the 37 patients in the two-dimensional group used the two-dimensional image for radiofrequency protocol planning before surgery. The two groups were compared in terms of the indices such as the first-attempt success rate of puncture, complete tumor ablation rate, and tumor-free survival. The Fisher's exact test, the chi-square test of continuous correction, or the Pearson chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups; the t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between groups. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves, and the Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test was used for comparison of tumor recurrence and survival; the Cox proportional-hazards regression model analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors for tumor-free survival. Results Compared with the two-dimensional group, the three-dimensional group had a significantly higher first-attempt success rate of puncture (94.12% vs 75.68%, Pearson χ2=4.183, P=0.041) and a significantly shorter median time of puncture (5 minutes vs 7 minutes, Z=-2.407, P=0.013). There was no significant difference in complete ablation rate between the three-dimensional group and the two-dimensional group (97.06% vs 91.89%, continuous correction χ2=0.183, P=0.669). There were significant differences in the 1-, 2-, and 4-year cumulative tumor-free survival rates between the three-dimensional group and the two-dimensional group (90.8%/78.8%/72.8% vs 61.5%/55.9%/44.7%, χ2=5.073, P=0.024). The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that preoperative planning method, complete or incomplete ablation, and alpha-fetoprotein at 1 month after surgery were independent influencing factors for the tumor-free survival of patients with liver cancer after radiofrequency ablation (all P < 0.05). Conclusion Radiofrequency ablation planning via the three-dimensional visualization ablation planning system can ensure the therapeutic effect of radiofrequency ablation, reduce the recurrence rate of liver cancer, and prolong the tumor-free survival of patients. -
