Multiple Pretransplant Treatments for Patients Without Pathological Complete Response may Worsen Posttransplant Outcomes in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma. Ann Surg Oncol 2023; 30:1408-1419. [PMID: 36434482 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-022-12789-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 10/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver transplant (LT) candidates with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) often receive cancer treatment before transplant. We investigated the impact of pre-transplant treatment for HCC on the risk of posttransplant recurrence. METHODS Adult HCC patients with LT at our institution between 2013 and 2020 were included. The impact of pre-LT cancer treatments on the cumulative recurrence was evaluated, using the Gray and Fine-Gray methods adjusted for confounding factors. Outcomes were considered in two ways: 1) by pathologically complete response (pCR) status within patients received pre-LT treatment; and 2) within patients without pCR, grouped by pre-LT treatment as A) none; B) one treatment; C) multiple treatments. RESULTS The sample included 179 patients, of whom 151 (84%) received pretreatment and 42 (28% of treated) demonstrated pCR. Overall, 22 (12%) patients experienced recurrence. The 5-year cumulative post-LT recurrence rate was significantly lower in patients with pCR than those without pCR (4.8% vs. 19.2%, P = 0.03). In bivariable analyses, pCR significantly decreased risk of recurrence. Among the 137 patients without pCR (viable HCC in the explant), 28 (20%) had no pretreatment (A), 70 (52%) had one treatment (B), and 39 (20%) had multiple treatments (C). Patients in Group C had higher 5-year recurrence rates than those in A or B (39.6% vs. 8.2%, 6.5%, P = 0.004 and P < 0.001, respectively). In bivariable analyses, multiple treatments was significantly associated with recurrence. CONCLUSIONS pCR is a favorable prognostic factor after LT. When pCR was not achieved by pre-LT treatment, the number of treatments might be associated with post-LT oncological prognosis.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the major causes of morbidity, mortality, and healthcare expenditure in patients with chronic liver disease in India. The Indian National Association for Study of the Liver (INASL) had published its first guidelines on diagnosis and management of HCC (The Puri Recommendations) in 2014, and these guidelines were very well received by the healthcare community involved in diagnosis and management of HCC in India and neighboring countries. However, since 2014, many new developments have taken place in the field of HCC diagnosis and management, hence INASL endeavored to update its 2014 consensus guidelines. A new Task Force on HCC was constituted that reviewed the previous guidelines as well as the recent developments in various aspects of HCC that needed to be incorporated in the new guidelines. A 2-day round table discussion was held on 5th and 6th May 2018 at Puri, Odisha, to discuss, debate, and finalize the revised consensus statements. Each statement of the guideline was graded according to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation system with minor modifications. We present here the 2019 Update of INASL Consensus on Prevention, Diagnosis, and Management of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in India: The Puri-2 Recommendations.

World J Gastrointest Oncol 2019; 11:322-334. [PMID: 31040897 PMCID: PMC6475674 DOI: 10.4251/wjgo.v11.i4.322] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2018] [Revised: 01/03/2019] [Accepted: 01/09/2019] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver transplantation (LT) is regarded as the best treatment for both primary and recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Post-transplant HCC recurrence rate is relatively low but significant, ranging from 10%-30% according to different series. When recurrence happens, it is usually extrahepatic and associated with poor prognosis. A predictive model that allows patient stratification according to recurrence risk can help to individualize post-transplant surveillance protocol and guidance of the use of anti-tumor immunosuppressive agents.
AIM To develop a scoring system to predict HCC recurrence after LT in an Asian population.
METHODS Consecutive patients having LT for HCC from 1995 to 2016 at our hospital were recruited. They were randomized into the training set and the validation set in a 60:40 ratio. Multivariable Cox regression model was used to identity factors associated with HCC recurrence. A risk score was assigned to each factor according to the odds ratio. Accuracy of the score was assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.
RESULTS In total, 330 patients were eligible for analysis (183 in training and 147 in validation). Recurrent HCC developed in 14.2% of them. The median follow-up duration was 65.6 mo. The 5-year disease-free and overall survival rates were 78% and 80%, respectively. On multivariate analysis, alpha-fetoprotein > 400 ng/mL [P = 0.012, hazard ratio (HR) 2.92], sum of maximum tumor size and number (P = 0.013, HR 1.15), and salvage LT (P = 0.033, HR 2.08) were found to be independent factors for disease-free survival. A risk score was calculated for each patient with good discriminatory power (c-stat 0.748 and 0.85, respectively, in the training and validation sets). With the derived scores, patients were classified into low- (0–9), moderate- (> 9–14), and high-risk groups (> 14), and the risk of HCC recurrence in the training and validation sets was 10%, 20%, 54% (c-stat 0.67) and 4%, 22%, 62% (c-stat 0.811), accordingly. The risk stratification model was validated with chi-squared goodness-of-fit test (P = 0.425).
CONCLUSION A validated predictive model featuring alpha-fetoprotein, salvage LT, and the sum of largest tumor diameter and total number of tumor nodule provides simple and reliable guidance for individualizing postoperative surveillance strategy.
