Background
The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of elderly patients (≥70 years old) undergoing curative hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods
Clinicopathological data and treatment outcomes in 100 elderly patients (≥70 years old) and 120 control patients (≤70 years old) with HCC who underwent curative hepatectomy between 2000 and 2011 were retrospectively collected and compared.Results
The overall survival rate was similar between the two groups, but the disease-free survival rate was worse in the elderly group when compared with the control group. Prognostic factors for overall and disease-free survival were the same when comparing the two groups. The elderly group had higher rate of females (p?=?0.0230), higher hepatitis C virus infection rate (p?=?0.0090), higher postoperative pulmonary complication rate (p?=?0.0484), lower rate of response to interferon (IFN) therapy (p?=?0.0203) and shorter surgical time (p?=?0.0337) when compared with the control group. The overall recurrence rate was higher in the elderly group than in the control group (p?=?0.0346), but the rate of recurrence within 2 years after the operation was similar when comparing the two groups.Conclusion
The survival of elderly patients with HCC was similar to that of younger patients. However, the disease-free survival was worse in elderly patients than in younger patients. Aggressive antiviral therapy (e.g. IFN therapy) may be necessary to improve the disease-free survival, even in elderly patients. Additionally, clinicians should be aware of the risk of pulmonary complications in elderly patients after hepatectomy. 相似文献2.

Background
Serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is frequently used to predict posthepatectomy outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but its predictive value is still not established. Therefore, we assessed the prognostic significance of AFP status.Methods
Of 525 patients undergoing curative hepatectomy for HCC, 290 had preoperative AFP levels of ??20?ng/mL (AFP-positive group) and 235 had AFP levels of <20?ng/mL (AFP-negative group). We compared the 2 groups with respect to time-to-recurrence, using the inverse probability of treatment weighted (IPTW) for the entire cohort and propensity score matching, and the cumulative incidence of HCC-specific mortality using competing risks regression.Results
During follow-up (median duration 64?months, range 2?C137?months), HCC recurred in 54.9?% of the AFP-negative group and 52.4?% of the AFP-positive group; there was no death without recurrence. After IPTW adjustment, time-to-recurrence did not differ in the 2 groups (hazard ratio [HR] 0.86, 95?% confidence interval [95?% CI] 0.66?C1.12; P?=?0.28). In a propensity-score matched cohort (152 pairs), time-to-recurrence data were similar to those obtained by IPTW adjustment (HR 0.91, 95?% CI 0.65?C1.25; P?=?0.55). There was no difference in recurrence pattern (site and stage) or treatment between the 2 groups even after propensity-score matching. The adjusted HR evaluating the impact of AFP positivity on the risk of HCC-specific mortality was 0.77 (95?% CI 0.54?C1.08; P?=?0.13) A multivariable competing risks analysis also failed to reveal a significant correlation between baseline AFP level and HCC-specific mortality in the AFP-positive group.Conclusions
Preoperative AFP levels are not useful for predicting recurrence or survival endpoints following curative hepatectomy for HCC. 相似文献3.

Background
Liver resection represents a most effective treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The extent of hepatectomy for HCC involves maintaining a tricky balance between radical resection of tumors and preservation of sufficient liver parenchyma. Generally, removal of the right hepatic vein often involves resection of the whole posterior right lobe, which may prevent patients with impaired liver function from maintaining a functional reserve and could also limit the future liver remnant from curative hepatectomy. As a common anatomic variation, preservation of the inferior right hepatic vein (IRHV) may enable preservation of liver segment 6, even when the right hepatic vein has to be removed. In the present study, we report our experience with IRHV-preserving major right hepatectomy.Methods
From February 2009 to December 2011, eight trisegmentectomies 5-7-8 and two segmentectomies 4-5-7-8 were performed with the IRHV-sparing technique on patients with HCC and significant fibrosis or cirrhosis. Data including demographic information, preoperative evaluations, postoperative outcomes, and follow-up results were collected and evaluated.Results
All patients survived and recovered from hepatectomy. The incidence of complications was higher in cirrhotic patients. The 1-year overall survival rate was 80 %, and the 1-year disease free survival rate was 60 %.Conclusions
IRHV-preserving major right hepatectomy increases the resectability of HCC. Intraoperative ultrasonography is recommended to facilitate protection of the IRHV. This technique is safe with careful preoperative evaluation and meticulous perioperative care. The short-term outcome of IRHV-preserving liver resections is satisfactory. 相似文献4.

Background
Spontaneously ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with hemoperitoneum has a poor prognosis, especially in cases of cirrhosis. Patients usually present to emergency rooms (ERs) with acute abdomen. The aim of the present study was to determine the factors affecting mortality and to compare the prognosis of conservative treatment, transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE), or hepatectomy in these situations.Methods
Fifty-four patients with spontaneously ruptured HCC diagnosed between January 2004 and August 2010 were enrolled in this retrospective review of clinical data. Grouping by survival or mortality, univariate and multivariate analyses of factors affecting 30-day mortality, and long-term survival were conducted. The outcomes of the various treatments were analyzed.Results
After primary fluid resuscitation in the ER, 6 of 54 patients underwent conservative treatment. Emergency hepatectomy was performed on 19 patients; TAE was used for 29 patients, 18 of whom received staged hepatectomy thereafter. Poor liver function, prolonged international normalized ratio (INR), and conservative treatment were associated with increased 30-day mortality. Logistic regression analysis of cumulative survival revealed that INR?≥?1.4, multiple intrahepatic HCC, and conservative treatment were related to poorer long-term survival. The patients who received hepatectomy, either immediate or staged after TAE, had higher survival rates of 85.2?% at 30?days and 62.2?% at 1?year.Conclusions
The treatment of ruptured HCC should be tailored to the individual case. Prolonged survival is possible in patients with preserved liver function through curative liver resection. Emergency physicians, radiologists, and surgeons play essential roles in managing these patients. 相似文献5.

Background
The present study aimed to clarify the clinicopathologic features of long-term disease-fee survival after resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods
This retrospective study identified 940 patients who underwent curative resection of HCC between 1991 and 2000 at five university hospitals. Seventy-four patients with 10 years of recurrence-free survival were identified and followed up. They were divided into two groups, 60 recurrence-free and 14 with recurrence after a 10-year recurrence-free period.Results
Overall survival rates of recurrence and non-recurrence groups were 68 and 91 % at 16 years, and 34 and 91 % at 20 years (p = 0.02), respectively. There were five (36 %), and two deaths (3 %), respectively, after 10 recurrence-free years. A second resection for recurrence was performed in four patients (29 %), and mean survival was 15.3 years after the first hepatectomy. Although three patients in the non-recurrence group (5 %) developed esophageal and/or gastric varices, seven patients in the recurrence group (50 %) developed varices during 10 years (p < 0.0001). In multivariate analysis, preoperative and 10-year platelet count was identified as a favorable independent factor for maintained recurrence-free survival after a 10-year recurrence-free period following curative hepatic resection of HCC.Conclusions
Recurrence of HCC may occur even after a 10-year recurrence-free period. Long-term follow-up after resection of HCC is important, and should be life-long. Patients with higher preoperative and 10-year platelet counts are more likely to have long-term survival after resection. A low platelet count, related to the degree of liver fibrosis, is a risk factor for recurrence and survival of HCC after curative resection. 相似文献6.

Background
The clinical significance of spontaneous hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) rupture association with recurrence pattern and long-term surgical outcomes remains under debate. We investigated the impact of spontaneous HCC rupture on recurrence pattern and long-term surgical outcomes after partial hepatectomy.Methods
From 2000 to 2012, 119 patients with diagnosed ruptured HCC were reviewed. To compare outcomes between staged hepatectomy in spontaneously ruptured HCC and hepatectomy in non-ruptured HCC, we performed propensity score-matching to adjust for significant differences in patient characteristics. Overall survival, disease-free survival, and recurrence pattern were compared between the matched groups.Results
Forty-four patients with newly diagnosed ruptured HCC and Child A class were initially treated with transcatheter arterial embolization for hemostasis. Three patients underwent emergency laparotomy, 18 underwent staged hepatectomy, and 23 received transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) alone after transcatheter arterial embolization. Among the 23 patients treated with TACE alone, 10 had resectable tumors. The staged hepatectomy group shows significantly higher overall survival with TACE alone than the resectable tumor group (P < 0.001). After propensity score-matching, overall survival, disease-free survival, and recurrence pattern were not significantly different between the ruptured HCC with staged hepatectomy group and the non-ruptured HCC with hepatectomy group. Peritoneal recurrence rates were similar at 14.3 % versus 10.0 %, respectively (P = 0.632).Conclusions
Patients with spontaneously ruptured HCC with staged hepatectomy show comparable long-term survival and recurrence pattern as patients with non-ruptured HCC having similar tumor characteristics and liver functional status. Thus, spontaneous HCC rupture may not increase peritoneal recurrence and decrease long-term survival after partial hepatectomy. 相似文献7.

Background
Although hepatectomy for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) offers prolonged survival in up to 40% of people, recurrence rates are high, approaching 70%. Many patients experience recurrent disease in the liver after initial hepatectomy. We examined our experience with repeat hepatectomy for mCRC.Methods
After Institutional Review Board approval, we reviewed the records of all patients at a single institution who underwent hepatectomy for mCRC. Repeat hepatectomy was defined as partial liver resection any time after the initial hepatectomy for recurrent mCRC. We estimated time to recurrence and survival by using the Kaplan?CMeier method and compared outcomes between groups by using the log-rank test.Results
From 1998 to 2008, 405 patients underwent hepatectomy for mCRC, and 215 (53%) experienced disease recurrence at a median of 13?months. Of 150 patients with liver-only or liver-predominant recurrence, 52 (35%) underwent repeat hepatectomy. The median time to recurrence after repeat hepatectomy was 10?months, and median overall survival was 19?months. There was one (1.9%) perioperative death, and there were 14 (27%) major complications. The median overall survival in the repeat hepatectomy group from the time of recurrence after initial hepatectomy was 22?months, compared with 15?months in the 98 patients with liver recurrence who were not selected for repeat hepatectomy (P?=?0.02).Conclusions
Repeat hepatectomy for mCRC is feasible in highly selected patients, with acceptable perioperative morbidity and mortality. Although repeat hepatectomy should be considered, recurrence rates are high. Although the initial hepatectomy for mCRC is potentially curative, recurrence of metastatic disease in the liver is unlikely to be cured. 相似文献8.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to clarify the clinicopathological features of extrahepatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence after hepatectomy in order to schedule optimal treatment strategies for better long-term outcomes.Methods
A cohort of 206 patients who had undergone curative hepatectomy for HCC was analysed; 133 patients had developed relapse. Among them, 101 patients had intrahepatic recurrence only (IHR), and 32 patients had extrahepatic recurrence (EHR). Clinicopathological and survival data were compared between the two groups.Results
The overall survival rate after hepatectomy was better in the IHR than in the EHR group (p?0.0001). The recurrence-free interval after hepatectomy was significantly shorter in the EHR than in the IHR group (258 vs. 487 days, p?0.0043). Patients in the EHR group were more likely to have a high PIVKA II, a large tumour, and microscopic portal vein invasion when compared with patients in the IHR group. Microscopic portal vein invasion was the most important independent risk factor for EHR after hepatectomy (p?=?0.0295). Patients with more than two risk factors for EHR showed poor prognosis in comparison with patients without any risk factors (p?0.001). In the EHR group, patients who underwent repeated resection had significantly better survival than patients receiving only the best supportive care (539 vs. 133 days, p?=?0.0098). Furthermore, among EHR patients with concomitant IHR, patients with controllable IHR had significantly better survival than those with uncontrollable IHR (524 vs. 147 days, p?=?0.0131).Conclusions
EHR of HCC was associated with early recurrence, and risk factors for the occurrence of EHR included the presence of high PIVKA II, large tumours, and microscopic portal vein invasion. Resection of recurrent tumour and local control of concomitant IHR may improve the prognosis of EHR patients. 相似文献9.

Background
The aim of this study was to determine the role of Lens culinaris agglutinin-reactive fraction of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP-L3) as a prognostic marker and a monitor marker of recurrence after curative resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods
From December 2002 to May 2004, 395 consecutive patients with HCC who underwent curative partial hepatectomy were included in the study. The tumor characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients with positive preoperative and postoperative AFP-L3 were compared with those with negative results.Results
A high ratio of AFP-L3 to total AFP was an indicator of pathologic aggressiveness. Patients with positive preoperative AFP-L3 had significantly earlier recurrence (median time to recurrence 22.0 ± 2.4 months vs 45.0 ± 6.9 months, P < .001) when compared with those with negative preoperative results. Significantly more patients with continuously positive or negative-turn-positive AFP-L3 results after surgery developed recurrence, particularly distant metastases, when compared with patients with continuously negative AFP-L3 results. The overall and disease-free survivals were significantly shorter in the positive than the negative preoperative AFP-L3 group. The overall and disease-free survivals were significantly shorter in the continuously positive and the negative-turn-positive than the continuously negative postoperative AFP-L3 group.Conclusion
Positive preoperative AFP-L3 and continuously positive or negative-turn-positive AFP-L3 results after surgery predicted a more aggressive tumor behavior, higher tumor recurrence, and poorer clinical outcomes. HCC patients with an increased proportion of AFP-L3 to total AFP should be more aggressively treated and closely followed-up. 相似文献10.

Objective
Our objective was to explore the short-term effects of preoperative serum hepatitis B virus DNA level (HBV DNA) on postoperative hepatic function in patients who underwent partial hepatectomy for hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods
The clinical data of 1,602 patients with hepatitis B-related HCC who underwent partial hepatectomy in our department were retrospectively studied. The patients were divided into three groups according to their preoperative HBV DNA levels: group A <200 IU/mL, group B 200–20,000 IU/mL, and group C >20,000 IU/mL. The rates of postoperative complications, especially the rate of postoperative liver failure, were compared.Results
There were significant differences among the three groups in the rates of postoperative liver failure. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, a high preoperative HBV DNA level was an independent risk factor for postoperative liver failure.Conclusions
Preoperative HBV DNA level was a significant risk factor for postoperative hepatic dysfunction. 相似文献11.

Background
Several published reports investigating the effects of interferon (IFN) therapy on survival and tumor recurrence after curative resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have been inconclusive. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of pegylated-IFN (peg-IFN) therapy after curative hepatic resection for HCC in patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV).Methods
Data from 175 patients who underwent curative hepatic resection for HCC associated with HCV were retrospectively collected and analyzed; 75 patients received peg-IFN therapy after surgery, whereas 100 patients did not receive IFN therapy. To overcome biases resulting from the different distribution of covariates in the two groups, a one-to-one match was created using propensity score analysis. After matching, patient outcomes were analyzed.Results
After one-to-one matching, patients (n?=?38) who received peg-IFN therapy after surgery and patients (n?=?38) who did not receive IFN therapy had the same preoperative and operative characteristics. The 3- and 5-year overall survival rates of patients who received peg-IFN therapy after hepatic resection were significantly higher than those of patients who did not receive IFN therapy (P?=?0.00135). The 3- and 5-year overall survival rates were 100 and 91.7% and 76.6 and 50.6% in the peg-IFN group and non-IFN group, respectively. There was no significant difference in disease-free survival between the two matched groups (P?=?0.886).Conclusion
Peg-IFN therapy may be effective as an adjuvant chemopreventive agent after hepatic resection in patients with HCV-related HCC. 相似文献12.

Background
Microscopic vascular invasion is an important risk factor for recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), even after curative liver resection or orthotopic liver transplantation. To predict microscopic portal venous invasion, the following two questions were examined retrospectively: Is it possible to detect microvascular invasion preoperatively? What are the characteristics of a group of early HCC recurrences even with no microvascular invasion?Methods
Study 1 included 229 patients with HCC who underwent curative liver resection between 1991 and 2008; 127 had HCC without microscopic portal venous invasion, and 52 had HCC with microscopic portal venous invasion (MPVI). These two distinct groups were analyzed with regard to various clinicopathologic factors. Subsequently, we specifically investigated if HCCs <5 cm with vascular invasion (n = 32) have some characteristics that would allow detection of latent microvascular invasion. Study 2 included 127 HCC patients without MVPI; 42 had a recurrence within 2 years, and 85 patients were recurrence-free for at least 2 years. These two distinct groups were analyzed with regard to various clinicopathologic factors.Results
HCC diameter of >5 cm, the macroscopic appearance of HCC, and high levels of preoperative des-γ-carboxyprothrombin are significant prognostic factors in identifying microvascular invasion of HCC. The strongest predictor of early recurrence (within 2 years) was the serum α-fetoprotein level in patients without clear microvascular invasion.Conclusions
Tumor size, macroscopic appearance, and high tumor marker levels are important elements in identifying the group of patients with a low HCC recurrence rate after curative liver resection. 相似文献13.

Purpose
Hepatectomy is feasible for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who are eligible for liver transplantation according to the Milan criteria if they have good hepatic function. This retrospective study investigates the prognostic factors of hepatectomy in HCC patients meeting the Milan criteria.Methods
Between 1991 and 2005, 175 patients underwent hepatectomy for HCC at our institute; 111 met and 64 exceeded the Milan criteria. The prognostic factors for hepatectomy were investigated using a Cox regression model.Results
Operative mortality and morbidity were significantly lower in the patients who met the criteria than in those who exceeded the criteria. After a median follow-up of 51.5 months, the 5-year survival rate was significantly better for the patients who met the criteria than for those who exceeded the criteria (77.8% vs 35.7%; P < 0.0001). The factors predictive of poor prognosis were poor differentiation, microscopic vasculobiliary invasion, and a high serum des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin (DCP) level (>100 mAU/ml) for the patients who met the Milan criteria; and only the presence of a microsatellite lesion for the patients who did not meet the Milan criteria.Conclusions
Hepatectomy is safe and beneficial for HCC patients who meet the Milan criteria, but a high preoperative serum DCP level may be predictive of a poor prognosis. 相似文献14.

Background
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether preoperative liver stiffness measurement (LSM) can predict recurrence after curative resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). LSM using FibroScan? can assess the severity of liver fibrosis, which is significantly associated with recurrence after curative resection of HCC.Methods
Between February 2006 and March 2009, 133 patients who underwent preoperative LSM and curative resection for HCC were enrolled in this prospective study. LSM values were analyzed for association with recurrence, together with other clinical variables.Results
The mean age of the patients (117 men and 16 women) was 57?years. During the follow-up period (median, 25.0 (range, 3.0?C54.6) months), HCC recurred in 62 (46.6?%) patients. In multivariate analysis, together with satellite nodule and Edmonson-Steiner grade III?CIV, LSM was selected as an independent predictor of recurrence (P?<?0.05; hazard ratio, 1.034; 95?% confidence interval, 1.007?C1.061). When the study population was stratified into two groups using the optimal cutoff value (13.4?kPa) that maximized the sum of sensitivity (64.7?%) and specificity (76.1?%) from time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curves (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve?=?0.676), patients with LSM values >13.4?kPa were at a significantly greater risk for recurrence with a hazard ratio of 1.925 (P?=?0.01; 95?% confidence interval, 1.17?C3.168) compared with those with LSM values ??13.4?kPa.Conclusions
Our data suggest that LSM can be a useful predictor of recurrence after curative resection of HCC. 相似文献15.

Background
The role of hepatectomy for patients with liver metastases from gastric and esophageal cancer (GELM) is not well defined. The present study examined the morbidity, mortality, and long-term survivals after liver resection for GELM.Methods
Clinicopathological data of patients who underwent hepatectomy for GELM between 1995 and 2012 at two European high-volume hepatobiliary centers were assessed, and predictors of overall survival (OS) were identified. In addition, the impact of preoperative chemotherapy for GELM on OS was evaluated.Results
Forty-seven patients underwent hepatectomy for GELM. The primary tumor was located in the stomach, cardia, and distal esophagus in 27, 16, and 4 cases, respectively. Twenty patients received preoperative chemotherapy before hepatectomy. After a median follow-up time of 76 months, 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates were 70, 37, and 24 %, respectively. Postoperative morbidity and mortality rates were 32 and 4 %, respectively. Outcomes were comparable between the two centers. Preoperative chemotherapy for GELM (5-year OS: 45 vs 9 %, P?=?.005) and the lack of posthepatectomy complications (5-year OS: 34 vs 0 %, P?.0001) were significantly associated with improved OS in univariate and multivariate analyses. When stratifying OS by radiologic response of GELM to preoperative chemotherapy, patients with progressive disease despite preoperative treatment had significantly worse OS (5-year OS: 0 vs 70 %, P?=?.045).Conclusion
For selected patients with GELM, liver resection is safe and should be regarded as a potentially curative approach. A multimodal treatment strategy including systemic therapy may provide better patient selection resulting in prolonged survival in patients with GELM undergoing hepatectomy. 相似文献16.

Background
This study aimed to classify transplantable recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after resection into subgroups according to the pattern of progression and to identify risk factors for each subgroup to select optimal candidates for salvage liver transplantation (LT).Methods
The patients that met the Milan criteria (MC) and were child-pugh class A at initial hepatectomy were included in the study. Of these patients, the patients with transplantable recurrence were identified and further divided into two groups according to the recurrent HCC progression pattern. Group 1 contained patients with controlled tumors within the MC. Group 2 contained patients with progressive tumors that spread beyond the MC. A controlled tumor was defined as the absence of tumor recurrence after locoregional treatment for ≥12 months or control of a recurrent tumor within the MC by active locoregional treatment.Results
After curative resection of HCC, 114 patients with transplantable recurrence were identified: 70 were classified as group 1 and 44 as group 2. Overall survival after recurrence was significantly higher in group 1 compared to group 2 (65.4 vs 35.7 %, respectively; P < 0.003). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that risk factors in group 1 were age >50 years and an indocyanine green retention at 15 min >10 %. The presence of a satellite nodule (SN) and/or microscopic portal vein invasion (mPVI) was the only independent risk factor identified in group 2. Among the 15 patients that underwent salvage LT, 2 of 3 patients (66.7 %) with SN and/or mPVI at initial hepatectomy developed extrahepatic recurrence.Conclusions
The patients with SN and/or mPVI at initial hepatectomy may not be candidates for salvage LT, and an extended observation time is required to determine tumor biology. 相似文献17.
Background
Preoperative α-fetoprotein (AFP) levels may have an influence on disease-free survival (DFS) of patients after liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) located on a cirrhotic liver.Methods
Between 2000 and 2009, two groups were distinguished according to preoperative AFP level: normal-level group (<10?ng/ml) and increased-level group (>10?ng/ml). The increased-level group was further divided into three levels of preoperative AFP: 10–150, 150–500, and ≥500?ng/ml. DFS and recurrence rates were compared. All patients underwent transplantation using the preoperative 5/5 criteria.Results
Of the 122 patients in this study, 63 had normal and 59 had increased preoperative AFP. There were no differences between the two groups concerning perioperative or pathologic data. Those with an increased preoperative AFP level had a significantly shorter 5-year DFS, and their recurrence rate was higher than that of the normal AFP group. The 5-year DFS and recurrence rates were 71 and 4?%, respectively, for those with normal AFP; 57 and 10?%, respectively, for those with AFP 10–150?ng/ml; 46 and 24?%, respectively, for those with AFP 150–500?ng/ml; and 28 and 62?%, respectively, for those with AFP ≥500?ng/ml.Conclusions
This study shows the prognostic value of preoperative AFP levels on DFS after a liver transplant for HCC in a population of patients undergoing transplantation with the same preoperative criteria. 相似文献18.

Background
We explored the predictors of response to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with recurrent intrahepatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatectomy and investigated the survival of these patients according to the response to TACE.Methods
We analyzed data from 199 consecutive HCC patients who underwent curative liver resection and who later received repeat TACE for intrahepatic HCC recurrence.Results
Of 199 patients, 139 (69.8%) achieved complete necrosis (CN) of HCC after repeated TACE (mean TACE session number, 1.3) and the other 60 (30.2%) (non-CN group) did not achieve CN. At hepatectomy, the CN group showed significantly smaller proportions of tumor capsular invasion, microvascular invasion, and pathologic tumor–node–metastasis stage III or IV HCCs. At first TACE, the CN group showed a significantly greater proportion of patients with time to recurrence ≥ 1 year, Child–Pugh class A, serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels < 200 ng/mL, tumor size < 3 cm, solitary tumors, and nodular tumor types; portal vein invasion were less common than seen in the non-CN group. After multivariate analysis, tumor size < 3 cm and a single tumor at first TACE were independently related to attainment of CN after TACE. Median survival after first TACE was significantly longer in the CN group (48.9 versus 17.0 months). In a Cox regression model, CN after TACE was an independent predictor of favorable survival outcome after first TACE.Conclusions
CN after repeat TACE for postresection intrahepatic recurrence was attained more commonly in patients with smaller tumor size and lower tumor number at first TACE and favored longer survival in recurrent patients. 相似文献19.

Introduction
We investigated the role of operative therapy in non-cirrhotic patients who developed metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods
This retrospective cohort study included consecutive non-cirrhotic patients with metastatic HCC after a prior hepatectomy treated between 1990 and 2009. Patients were stratified by operative therapy (resection, ablation, transcatheter therapy). Kaplan?CMeier analyses with log-rank comparisons tested effects of operative therapy on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).Results
Of 195 non-cirrhotic patients treated for HCC during the study period, 98 [median age 65, interquartile range (IQR) 53?C71; 55?% male] subsequently developed metastatic HCC (55 intrahepatic only). Median time to development of metastases after the index operation was 10?months (IQR 5?C20?months); median number of metastases was 3 (IQR 2?C7). Half of these patients (n?=?50) underwent operative treatment of metastases; 20 (40?%) underwent metastasectomy, 18 (36?%) ablation, and 12 (24?%) transcatheter therapy. Operative therapy was associated with improved OS (p?0.001). Resection or ablation was associated with improved PFS and OS compared to transcatheter therapy (all p????0.006). Nine patients (seven resection, two ablation) are disease free at a median of 50?months (IQR 24?C80?months) posttreatment.Conclusions
Resection and ablation are associated with an improved PFS and long-term OS and should be considered in select patients with metastatic HCC. 相似文献20.
