Issue Date: | 7-Dec-2023 | Date: | 2023 | Publication information: | Cancers 2023-12-07; 15(24) | Abstract: | The optimal treatment approach in very-early and early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is not precisely defined, and there is ambiguity in the literature around the comparative efficacy of surgical resection versus ablation as curative therapies for limited disease. We performed this real-world propensity-matched, multi-centre cohort study to assess for differences in survival outcomes between those undergoing resection and those receiving ablation. Patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) 0/A HCC first diagnosed between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2020 who received ablation or resection as initial treatment were included in the study. A total of 450 patients were included in the study from 10 major liver centres including two transplant centres. Following propensity score matching using key covariates, 156 patients were available for analysis with 78 in each group. Patients who underwent resection had significantly improved overall survival (log-rank test p = 0.023) and local recurrence-free survival (log rank test p = 0.027) compared to those who received ablation. Based on real-world data, our study supports the use of surgical resection in preference to ablation as first-line curative therapy in appropriately selected BCLC 0/A HCC patients. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/34739 | DOI: | 10.3390/cancers15245741 | ORCID: | 0000-0001-7550-8202 0000-0002-9383-3903 0000-0002-5341-0404 0000-0003-0657-3048 0000-0001-5469-4317 0000-0003-0354-1614 0000-0003-4785-3337 0000-0002-1855-2757 0000-0002-0845-3341 0000-0002-1146-4308 0000-0002-1244-3322 0000-0002-0787-7273 0000-0002-6624-0782 0000-0002-9015-7997 |
