Results

The median OS from the start of alkalization therapy inpatients with a urine pH of >= 7.0 was not reached (n = 12, 95% CI = 3.0-not reached), which was significantly longer than that in patients with a pH of < 7.0(15.4 months, n = 17, 95% CI = 5.8-not reached, p < 0.05). The addition of alkalization therapy to standard therapies may beassociated with more favorable outcomes in HCC patients with increased urinepH after alkalization therapy.

Baseline Characteristics

In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, is difficult to preventrecurrence even when remission is achieved. In addition, even with the advent ofdrugs that are effective for the treatment of HCC, a satisfactory extension ofpatient survival has not been achieved. To overcome this situation, wehypothesized that the combination of alkalization therapy with standardtreatments will improve the prognosis of HCC. We here report the clinicalresults of HCC patients treated with alkalization therapy at our clinic.

Participant flow

Patients with HCC treated at Karasuma Wada Clinic (in Kyoto, Japan), from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2020 were analyzed.Overall survival (OS) from both the time of diagnosis and the start of alkalization therapy for each patient was compared. The mean urine pH was also calculated as a surrogate marker of tumor microenvironment pH, and OS from the start of alkalization therapy was compared between patients with a mean urine pH of >= 7.0 and those with a mean urine pH of < 7.0.

Adverse events

none

Outcome measures

The median OS from diagnosis was 95.6 months (95% confidence interval [CI] = 24.7-not reached), and from the start of alkalization therapy was 42.3 months (95%CI = 8.93-not reached). The median OS from the start of alkalization therapy inpatients with a urine pH of >= 7.0 was not reached (n = 12, 95% CI = 3.0-not reached), which was significantly longer than that in patients with a pH of < 7.0(15.4 months, n = 17, 95% CI = 5.8-not reached, p < 0.05).
