Abstract
Background: Sorafenib is indicated for first line treatment in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in which curative treatment by surgical resection, liver transplantation or locoregional therapy are not feasible. There is a number of domestic studies with limited sample size. This study was done with 2 aims: Evalue the respones, progression - free survival, overall survival and toxicities of therapies.
Methods: Descriptive study of 30 patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma at Da Nang Oncology Hospital from 2019 to 2021.
Results: The disease control rate was 63.4 %, time to disease progression was 5.02 months, overall survival was 7.02 months. The incidence of toxicity was 80%, the majority of those were grade 1 and 2, grade 3 was 30%, not grade 4. Common toxicities were hand food skin reaction (36.7%), fatigue (30%), increased AST/ALT (33.3%). The rate of delay treatment due to toxicity was 23.3%.
Conclusion: Sorafenib is a standard care for first - line treatment for advanced HCC. It was proven to extend overall survival and progression free survival.
