Methods: Sixty-five cases were randomly divided into 2 groups, 32 patients in combination group received the treatment of KLT capsules + TACE and 33 patients in control group were treated with TACE alone. The objective response rate (RR), serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP), peripheral blood T lymphocyte subgroups (T-LS), quality of life (QOL), time to progression (TTP) and adverse reaction were observed and compared between 2 groups. Results: The objective response rate and serum alpha fetoprotein levels had no significant difference between the two groups (P 〉 0.05). Combination group was superior to control group in quality of life (QOL), time to progression (TTP), peripheral blood T lymphocyte subgroups (CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8 ratio) and liver adverse reactions, with significant differences (P 〈 0.05). Conclusion: KLT capsules combined with TACE is an effective method to treat primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who have lost the opportunity of surgical therapy.展开更多

In the various treatment methods for HCC, the lack of cancer cell specificity and the development of multidrug resistance (MDR) are two major obstacles in the treatment of HCC. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an ATP-dependent drug efflux pump that can reduce the accumulation of drugs in cells and make cancer cells acquire drug resistance. D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (Vitamin E TPGS or TPGS) can inhibit the activity of ATP-dependent P-gp and serves as an effective excipient for overcoming tumor multidrug resistance (MDR). TPGS has been approved by the FDA as a safe adjuvant and is widely used in drug delivery systems. The biological and physicochemical properties of TPGS provide multiple advantages for its application in drug delivery, such as high biocompatibility, enhanced drug solubility, improved drug permeation, and selective antitumor activity. In recent years, more and more studies have found that using TPGS-modified nanomaterials to load chemotherapy drugs to treat tumors can effectively reverse the drug resistance of tumors, including HCC. This review summarizes and discusses the role of TPGS in reversing tumor drug resistance and the therapeutic effects of TPGS-based drugs on drug-resistant HCC.展开更多
