Abstract
Background/aim: Predictors of recurrence following resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are not fully established. This study investigated potential risk factors and prognostic scores for this situation.
Patients and methods: In 297 patients undergoing resection of HCC between 2000 and 2021, risk scores and potential additional risk factors for intrahepatic and extrahepatic recurrence were assessed.
Results: Median overall survival was 48.4 months, median time to recurrence 25.1 months. The Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP)-score differentiated between low and high-risk groups (21.8 vs. 8.3 months, p=0.001), as did the Risk Estimation of Tumor Recurrence After Transplant (RETREAT)-score (16 vs. 9 months, p=0.004) and the Clinical Risk Score (CRS) (14.9 vs. 3.9 months, p=0.002). Advanced T-stage, multiple lesions, and vessel infiltration were significantly associated with any type of recurrence, advanced T-stage, and multiple lesions with intrahepatic recurrence.
Conclusion: Predictors of recurrence following resection of HCC were identified. Prognostic scores traditionally used for patients receiving liver transplantation (AFP-score, RETREAT-score, CRS) were predictive also of recurrence after resection of HCC.
期刊介绍:
ANTICANCER RESEARCH is an independent international peer-reviewed journal devoted to the rapid publication of high quality original articles and reviews on all aspects of experimental and clinical oncology. Prompt evaluation of all submitted articles in confidence and rapid publication within 1-2 months of acceptance are guaranteed.
ANTICANCER RESEARCH was established in 1981 and is published monthly (bimonthly until the end of 2008). Each annual volume contains twelve issues and index. Each issue may be divided into three parts (A: Reviews, B: Experimental studies, and C: Clinical and Epidemiological studies).
Special issues, presenting the proceedings of meetings or groups of papers on topics of significant progress, will also be included in each volume. There is no limitation to the number of pages per issue.
