Abstract
Aim: To assess real-world management of patients diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) within an integrated delivery network.
Materials & methods: A retrospective cohort analysis of adults newly diagnosed with HCC from January 2014 to March 2019. Overall survival and treatment journey were assessed over the entire available follow-up period per patient.
Results: Of the 462 patients, 85% had ≥1 treatment. The 24-month overall survival rate (95% CI) from first treatment was 77% (72-82%). Majority of Child-Pugh class A (71%) and B (60%) patients received locoregional therapy first. Half (53.6%) of the patients with liver transplantation first were Child-Pugh class C patients. Sorafenib was the predominant systemic therapy.
Conclusion: This integrated delivery network data analysis offers a comprehensive insight into the real-world management of HCC.
期刊介绍:
Primary liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the world, and the third most common cause of death from malignant disease. Traditionally more common in developing countries, hepatocellular carcinoma is becoming increasingly prevalent in the Western world, primarily due to an increase in hepatitis C virus infection. Emerging risk factors, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and obesity are also of concern for the future. In addition, metastatic tumors of the liver are more common than primary disease. Some studies report hepatic metastases in as many as 40 to 50% of adult patients with extrahepatic primary tumors. Hepatic Oncology publishes original research studies and reviews addressing preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to all types of cancer of the liver, in both the adult and pediatric populations. The journal also highlights significant advances in basic and translational research, and places them in context for future therapy. Hepatic Oncology provides a forum to report and debate all aspects of cancer of the liver and bile ducts. The journal publishes original research studies, full reviews and commentaries, with all articles subject to independent review by a minimum of three independent experts. Unsolicited article proposals are welcomed and authors are required to comply fully with the journal''s Disclosure & Conflict of Interest Policy as well as major publishing guidelines, including ICMJE and GPP3.
