Study Arms (4)

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Receive hepatectomy and thrombectomy alone, no postoperative adjuvant treatments

Other: PVIC, TACE

PVIC Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Portal Vein Infusion Chemotherapy (PVIC): 5-fluorouracil (650 mg/m2 for 24 hours on days 1), doxorubicin (10 mg/m2 for 6 hours on days 2), and cisplatin (20 mg/m2 for 6 hours on days 3) was continuously infused into portal vein through tube by a infusion pump implanted in operation. Treatment started 2 weeks after the operation and was repeated every 4 weeks for six cycles.

Other: PVIC, TACE

TACE Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization (TACE): 5-fluorouracil (650 mg/m2), doxorubicin (10 mg/m2), cisplatin (20 mg/m2), and lipiodol 5ml were injected into hepatic artery by puncturing the common femoral artery in the right groin and passing a catheter through the abdominal aorta, through the celiac axis and common hepatic artery, into the proper hepatic artery. Treatment started 4 weeks after the operation and was repeated at 6-8 weeks intervals for 3 cycles.

Other: PVIC, TACE

PVIC+TACE Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Combination of PVIC and TACE. PVIC started 2 weeks after operation and TACE started 6 weeks after operation. Both PVIC and TACE were repeated at 8 weeks intervals for 3 cycles.

Other: PVIC, TACE

Interventions

PVIC:5-fluorouracil (650 mg/m2 for 24 hours on days 1), doxorubicin (10 mg/m2 for 6 hours on days 2), and cisplatin (20 mg/m2 for 6 hours on days 3) were continuously infused into portal vein through tube by a infusion pump. Treatment started 2 weeks after the operation and was repeated every 4 weeks for 6 cycles. TACE: 5-fluorouracil (650 mg/m2), doxorubicin (10 mg/m2), cisplatin (20 mg/m2), and lipiodol 5ml were injected into hepatic artery by puncturing the common femoral artery in the right groin and passing a catheter through the abdominal aorta, through the celiac axis and common hepatic artery, into the proper hepatic artery. Treatment started 4 weeks after the operation and was repeated at 6-8 weeks intervals for 3 cycles.
