Table 2.
Response of tumor and portal vein tumor thrombosis
| Response | No. of patients with tumor responses (%) | No. of patients with PVTT responses (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Complete response (CR) | 0 (0%) | 14 (14.0%) |
| Partial response (PR) | 41 (41.0%) | 48 (48.0%) |
| Stable disease (SD) | 20 (20.0%) | 29 (29.0%) |
| Progressive disease (PD) | 39 (39.0%) | 9 (9.0%) |
| Objective response (CR + PR) | 41 (41.0%) | 62 (62.0%) |
PVTT = portal vein tumor thrombosis. A borderline correlation was found between the 6-months objective response rates (CR + PR) of PVTT and the tumor.
