Usefulness of tumor perfusion on cone-beam CT after hepatic arterial infusion port implantation for evaluating tumor response to hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma treatment

PURPOSETo compare tumor perfusion on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) after hepatic artery infusion port implantation with the tumor response to hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).METHODSThis retrospective study was conducted in patients...

description PURPOSETo compare tumor perfusion on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) after hepatic artery infusion port implantation with the tumor response to hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).METHODSThis retrospective study was conducted in patients with advanced HCC treated with HAIC from 2015 to 2020. We performed CBCT with contrast injection via a port on the day following implantation. We classified tumor perfusion on CBCT into three groups: hyperperfusion, isoperfusion, and hypoperfusion. We also evaluated tumor response to HAIC on follow-up images using RECIST 1.1 and compared it with tumor perfusion on CBCT.RESULTSThis study included 206 tumors in 193 patients (mean: 60.5 years) with HCC. There were 100 hyperperfusion tumors (48.5%), 92 isoperfusion tumors (44.7%), and 14 hypoperfusion tumors (6.8%). The tumor response to HAIC included 10 tumors with a complete response (CR) (4.9%), 66 tumors with a partial response (32%), 60 tumors with stable disease (29.1%), and 70 tumors with progressive disease (34%). Hyperperfusion tumors had a 65% objective response rate (ORR) and a 92% disease control rate (DCR). Isoperfusion tumors had a 12% ORR and a 46.8% DCR, while hypoperfusion tumors had a 0% ORR and a 7.1% DCR. A CR was shown only in hyperperfusion tumors. The ORR and DCR of the three groups were different, with statistical significance (P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONHyperperfusion tumors on CBCT showed a better tumor response to HAIC, with a 65% ORR in patients with HCC. Tumor perfusion on CBCT after implantation of the hepatic arterial infusion port was associated with the tumor response to HAIC.
