Efficacy of sequential TACE on primary hepatocellular carcinoma with microvascular invasion after radical resection: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of sequential transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) on the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and microvascular invasion (MVI) following radical resection.

Methods

Five databases were searched for studies on the efficacy of TACE after radical hepatectomy resection (HR) for treating HCC with MVI. Depending on the heterogeneity between included studies, the relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were computed using a random or fixed effect model.

Results

Thirteen articles were included in this study. There were 1378 cases in the HR-TACE group (cases undergoing TACE after HR) and 1636 cases in the HR group (cases only undergoing HR). The recurrence-free survival (RFS) at 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, and 5 years after radical HCC resection was statistically significantly greater in the HR-TACE group than in the HR group. The HR-TACE group exhibited statistically significant advantages at 1-year, 2-year, 3-year, and 5-year overall survival (OS) after radical HCC resection when compared with the HR group.

Conclusion

Postoperative sequential TACE treatment can improve the RFS and OS rates at 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, and 5 years following radical HR in patients with HCC and MVI. These findings will guide clinicians in selecting appropriate cases for adjuvant TACE treatment during clinical diagnosis and treatment to maximize patient benefit.

Project description:BackgroundPreoperative prediction of microvascular invasion (MVI) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may optimize individualized treatment decision-making. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic differences between HCC patients undergoing liver resection (LR) and liver transplantation (LT) based on predicted MVI risks.MethodsWe analysed 905 patients who underwent LR, including 524 who underwent anatomical resection (AR) and 117 who underwent LT for HCC within the Milan criteria using propensity score matching. A nomogram model was used to predict preoperative MVI risk.ResultsThe concordance indices of the nomogram for predicting MVI were 0.809 and 0.838 in patients undergoing LR and LT, respectively. Based on an optimal cut-off value of 200 points, the nomogram defined patients as high- or low-risk MVI groups. LT resulted in a lower 5-year recurrence rate and higher 5-year overall survival (OS) rate than LR among the high-risk patients (23.6% vs 73.2%, P < 0.001; 87.8% vs 48.1%, P < 0.001) and low-risk patients (19.0% vs 45.7%, P < 0.001; 86.5% vs 70.0%, P = 0.002). The hazard ratios (HRs) of LT vs LR for recurrence and OS were 0.18 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.09-0.37) and 0.12 (95% CI, 0.04-0.37) among the high-risk patients and 0.37 (95% CI, 0.21-0.66) and 0.36 (95% CI, 0.17-0.78) among the low-risk patients. LT also provided a lower 5-year recurrence rate and higher 5-year OS rate than AR among the high-risk patients (24.8% vs 63.5%, P = 0.001; 86.7% vs 65.7%, P = 0.004), with HRs of LT vs AR for recurrence and OS being 0.24 (95% CI, 0.11-0.53) and 0.17 (95% CI, 0.06-0.52), respectively. The 5-year recurrence and OS rates between patients undergoing LT and AR were not significantly different in the low-risk patients (19.4% vs 28.3%, P = 0.129; 85.7% vs 77.8%, P = 0.161).ConclusionsLT was superior to LR for patients with HCC within the Milan criteria with a predicted high or low risk of MVI. No significant differences in prognosis were found between LT and AR in patients with a low risk of MVI.
