Objective: To investigate the effects of intensity modulated radiation therapy + local hyperthermia on the cancer cell apoptosis and invasion in liver cancer lesion. Methods:A total of 94 patients with middle-advanced primary liver cancer who were diagnosed and treated in this hospital between November 2015 and February 2017 were divided into control group (n=47) and experimental group (n=47) by random number table method. Control group received intensity modulated radiation therapy and experimental group received intensity modulated radiation therapy + local hyperthermia. Both groups accepted peritoneal lesion biopsy before and after treatment, and the expression of apoptosis and invasion genes in specimen tissue were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in apoptosis and invasion gene expression between the two groups of patients before treatment. After treatment, apoptosis genes Fas, caspase-3, Bax and p53 mRNA expression in lesion tissue of experimental group were higher than those of control group whereas FasL and Bcl-2 mRNA expression were lower than those of control group;invasion genes Cofilin-1, Bmi-1, STAT3 and SOX18 mRNA expression in lesion tissue of experimental group were lower than those of control group whereas Tip30 and TP53IP1 mRNA expression were higher than those of control group. Conclusion: intensity modulated radiation therapy + local hyperthermia can effectively promote cancer cell apoptosis and inhibit its invasion activity in patients with middle and advanced primary liver cancer.
