76岁嬷肝癌合併肝硬化 接受質子治療腫瘤縮小、指數降至正常

76歲張阿嬤有肝癌家族史,健檢發現肝臟深處有7.2公分腫瘤合併肝硬化,因手術風險高自費接受質子治療,腫瘤明顯縮小且指數降至正常。

Quick Look

76岁张阿嬷罹患7.2公分肝癌合併肝硬化,因手術風險高轉至中国医药大学附设医院接受质子治疗。经过22次治疗及追踪,肿瘤明显缩小至2.5公分,甲型胎儿蛋白降至正常值,病况稳定。

Why It Matters

張阿嬤有肝癌家族史,健檢發現7.2公分肝腫瘤合併肝硬化,因手術風險接受質子治療。

Font size

76歲張阿嬤有肝癌家族史,接受健檢才發現罹患肝癌,肝臟深處有一顆約7.2公分腫瘤、合併肝硬化,腫瘤指數甲型胎兒蛋白(AFP)高達5183 ng/mL(正常值小於9 ),因手術切除可能增加急性肝衰竭風險,接受自費的質子放射治療,腫瘤明顯縮小,腫瘤指數也降至正常值,病情穩定。

肝癌高居台灣癌症發生率第5位、死亡率第二名,中國醫藥大學附設醫院質子治療中心院長趙坤山指出,甲型胎兒蛋白為肝癌關鍵腫瘤標記,正常值通常小於9 ng/mL,張女士健檢時數值高達5183 ng/mL,已超標500多倍,反映體內癌細胞數量龐大且活性極強,影像檢查確診罹患肝癌合併肝硬化,轉至中國附醫治療。

趙坤山表示,肝癌早期往往缺乏明顯症狀,部分病人直到腫瘤變大或出現身體不適才被發現,也可能因此增加後續治療難度,部分肝癌病人又因年齡、肝硬化、腫瘤位置或身體狀況等因素,未必適合接受手術治療。

張阿嬤本身有肝硬化,腫瘤達7.2公分,若接受手術切除恐增加急性肝衰竭風險,共接受質子治療22次,治療期間偶爾出現腹脹及疲倦,生活作息大致如常,治療3個月後,AFP由5183 ng/mL降至37 ng/mL;追蹤一年後,進一步降至3.77 ng/mL,電腦斷層影像亦顯示腫瘤明顯縮小至2.5公分,目前病況穩定。

趙坤山說,肝癌病人常合併肝硬化等慢性肝病,治療除了控制腫瘤,也需盡可能保留正常肝臟功能,質子治療可將主要能量集中於腫瘤範圍,降低正常肝組織及鄰近十二指腸、腎臟等器官接受不必要的輻射劑量,兼顧腫瘤治療與正常組織保護。

趙坤山表示,質子中第一治療室啟用至今已累計治療超過400位病人,涵蓋頭頸癌、肝癌、乳癌等多種癌別,非轉移癌症個案存活率達98%以上,第三級以上嚴重副作用比率小於2%,現在第二治療室也加入服務。

Open Questions

  • 質子治療的長期追蹤存活率表現為何?
  • 未來健保是否會將肝癌質子治療納入給付?

Cryptopterygoid increases in many places in the north: Experts analyze causes and protection guidelines

Recently, cryptopteran worms have appeared frequently in Beijing, Hebei, Henan and other places, causing redness, swelling and blisters on the skin. Cai Wanzhi, a professor at China Agricultural University, pointed out that climate warming and increased rainfall have led to the northward expansion of its distribution. Experts remind that cryptid insects will not actively attack, so you should avoid swatting them. After exposure to toxins, you need to wash them with soapy water and seek medical treatment promptly.
