HAIC Using Oxaliplatin Plus Fluorouracil/Leucovorin for Patients With Locally Advanced HCC

A large proportion of Asian patients with HCC present with locally advanced or metastatic disease,at which point they are ineligible for curative treatments.Oxaliplatin plus fluorouracil/leucovorin intravenous infusion was proved effective in prolonging progression-free survival(PFS) than doxorubicin as palliative chemotherapy in patients with advanced HCC from Asia. Besides, hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC）is a widely used method for primary or metastasis liver tumor with high local tumor response. To our knowledge, there have not been any prospective studies to assess the safety and effecacy of HAIC using oxaliplatin plus fluorouracil/leucovorin for patients with locally advanced HCC.Thus,the purpose of this phase 2 study was to assess the safety and effecacy of HAIC using oxaliplatin plus fluorouracil/leucovorin for patients with locally advanced HCC.
