摘要
Hepatocellular carcinoma remains a highly chemoresistant neoplasm. In this study of the topoisomerase I inhibitor topotecan a response rate of 13.9% (95% confidence interval 4.7%-29.5%) was obtained utilizing a five consecutive day bolus infusion schedule. There were no complete responses and the median survival was only eight months. Furthermore, treatment with topotecan produced significant toxicity with two-thirds of patients experiencing life-threatening (grade 4) neutropenia. When used in this dose and schedule, topotecan does not appear to be effective for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
