  •   Objective  To investigate the cost-effect of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with CalliSpheres beads loaded with arsenic trioxide (ATO) (CBATO) versus ATO iodized oil emulsion (conventional TACE, cTACE) in the treatment of unresectable liver cancer.  Methods  A total of 100 patients with advanced liver cancer who attended The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from May 2017 to December 2018 were enrolled and divided into CBATO group(n=45) and cTACE group(n=55) according to the treatment regimen. Progression-free survival (PFS) was used to evaluate the efficacy of quality-adjusted life year (QALY), and European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) index was used to evaluate quality of life. The t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups; the number of surgeries, length of hospital stay, treatment cost, and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) were calculated for the two groups, and then a cost-effect analysis was performed.  Results  Within the PFS time, the per capita hospital cost was 96 446 yuan in the CBATO group and 91 230.43 yuan in the cTACE group. There were significant differences between the two groups in the mean number of surgeries (2.5±0.7 vs 3.4±0.8, t=16.911, P < 0.01) and mean hospital stay (5.8±1.2 days vs 7.5±1.8 days, t=12.459, P < 0.01). The CBATO group had a significantly higher QALY than the cTACE group (0.804 vs 0.512). Compared with the cTACE group, the CBATO group had an ICER of 17 861.53 yuan/QALY for unresectable liver cancer.  Conclusion  Although CBATO has a higher surgery cost than cTACE, CBATO has a better clinical effect than cTACE and can reduce the number of surgeries and length of hospital stay, with a better postoperative quality of life than cTACE, suggesting that CBATO has marked cost-effect advantages.
