Hepatic Resection Associated With Good Survival for Selected Patients With Intermediate and Advanced-Stage Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Abstract: Our clinical and literature analyses suggest that in patients with HCC with preserved liver function, the presence of large, solitary tumors, multinodular tumors, macrovascular invasion, or PHT are not contraindications for HR.

“…Our retrospective analysis further showed that long-term survival of HCC patients with PH was higher after HR than after transarterial chemoembolization. 4 In fact, such patients showed higher median overall and disease-free survival at 1, 3, and 5 years after HR than did those with multinodular HCC or HCC involving macrovascular invasion. 2 Retrospective subgroup analysis of our patients showed that short-and long-term overall survival was similar in the presence or absence of PHT if the patients had early-stage HCC or had undergone only minor hepatectomy, or if propensity score matching was used to eliminate baseline differences.…”

“…Regression of retrospective data collection is also at risk of suboptimal strength, and propensity score analysis may just delete from the cohort those individuals with an outlier profile that is captured by that use of the parameter that is aimed to be tested, as is the case for portal hypertension in the prediction of prognosis in patients considered for surgical resection. Furthermore, in the absence of a direct measurement of portal pressure in their study, 4 their definition of portal hypertension may have overestimated its presence and prompted a flaw. In their study, 20% of the patients were registered as portal hypertensive because of esophageal varices, but did not have splenomegaly and low platelet count.…”

“…Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a well-documented risk factor for hepatocarcinogenesis, and ~90% of patients with HCC in China have chronic HBV infection and concomitant reduced liver function (2,3). Therefore, the prognosis of patients with HBV-associated HCC depends on both tumor status and HBV activity.…”
