Abstract

Objective — To explore the effect of Huaier granule combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in the treatment of advanced liver cancer. Methods — From January 2017 to January 2020, 150 patients with advanced liver cancer admitted to our hospital were selected as clinical subjects for a prospective non-randomized controlled study based on different treatment schedules. Among them, 50 patients were distributed to TACE group with TACE treatment alone. Besides, 50 patients were assigned to chemotherapy group and received systemic chemotherapy with Folfox4 regimen alone. Among them, 50 patients were distributed as the observation group. The therapeutic effects of the three groups were compared. Results: The effective rate and disease control rate in observation group were significantly higher than those in TACE group and chemotherapy group (P < 0.05). The rate of adr in observation group and TACE group was significantly lower than that in chemotherapy group (P < 0.05). The survival rate of observation group was significantly higher than that of TACE group and chemotherapy group after 12 months follow-up (P < 0.05). Conclusion — The combined treatment of huaier granule and TACE can improve the therapeutic effect and survival rate of patients with advanced liver cancer.
