Background We aimed to retrospectively assess the effect of comprehensive cryosurgery (ablation of intrahepatic and extrahepatic tumours) plus dendritic cell-cytokine-induced killer cell immunotherapy in metastatic hepatocellular cancer. Methods We divided 45 patients into cryoimmunotherapy ( n = 21), cryotherapy ( n = 12), immunotherapy ( n = 5) and untreated ( n = 7) groups. Overall survival (OS) after diagnosis of metastatic hepatocellular cancer was assessed after an 8-year follow-up. Findings Median OS was higher following cryoimmunotherapy (32 months) or cryotherapy (17.5 months; p p p Interpretation Cryotherapy and, especially, cryoimmunotherapy significantly increased OS in metastatic hepatocellular cancer patients. Multiple cryoimmunotherapy treatments was associated with a better prognosis than single cryoimmunotherapy. |
