Abstract

potentially curative treatment options for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) include liver transplantation (LT), liver resection (LR) and thermal ablation (TA). Long term intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis from a single-centre using all three modalities contemporaneously has not been published. An ITT analysis was undertaken of all patients with HCC listed for LT, or have undergone LR or TA. 444 patients were identified; 145 were listed for LT (121 underwent LT), 190 underwent LR and 109 underwent TA. One and 3-year overall survival (OS) was similar among LT, LR and TA (88/77%, 88/64% and 95/72%) whereas 5-year OS was higher following LT than LR or TA (73% vs. 54% vs. 49%). Disease-free survival at 1- and 5-years was higher for LT (97% and 84%) than LR (66% and 35%) or TA (73%, and 19%). LT offered the lowest rate of cancer recurrence and highest chance of long-term survival. Differences in outcome likely reflect a combination of cancer-related factors (AFP, micro- and macrovascular invasion), patient-related factors (performance status, co-morbidities and psychosocial issues) and treatment type. Two thirds of patients treated by LR and three quarters treated by TA had HCC recurrence by 5 years, reinforcing the need for close long-ter...Continue Reading
