摘要

Purpose

To investigate the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy combined with targeted therapy and immunotherapy for liver cancer with lymph node metastasis (LNM).

Methods

We analysed patients who received radiotherapy for liver cancer with LNM in our hospital from June 2020 to June 2023. 62 patients were enrolled in this study, who received radiotherapy with a median radiation dose of 60.0 Gy, combined with targeted therapy and/or immunotherapy. The objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), progression free survival (PFS), and adverse events were observed to evaluate treatment efficacy and safety.

Results

With a median follow-up of 18.5 months, the best ORR was 90.3%. The median OS was 26.0 months. The 1-year and 2-year OS rates were 78.93% and 57.37%, respectively. The median PFS was 17.0 months, and the 1-year and 2-year PFS rates were 59.06% and 49.22%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that alanine aminotransferase (HR = 2.34, 95% CI 1.07–5.11, P = 0.033), prothrombin time (HR = 4.51, 95% CI 1.76–11.57, P = 0.002), alpha fetal protein (HR = 2.94, 95% CI 1.34–6.45, P = 0.007), and the volume of LNM (HR = 3.05, 95% CI 1.25–7.46, P = 0.014) were independent predictors for OS, while non-regional LNM (HR = 3.19, 95% CI 1.24–8.16, P = 0.016) was an independent predictor for PFS. Toxicity was generally mild and moderate.

Conclusions

Radiotherapy combined with targeted therapy and immunotherapy is an effective treatment option, and expected to become new treatment strategy for liver cancer with LNM.
