The surgical management of giant hepatocellular carcinoma (G-HCC), or HCC of ≥10 cm in diameter, remains controversial. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of surgical resection of, respectively, G-HCC and small HCC (S-HCC), or HCC measuring <10 cm.
A retrospective review of all patients (n = 86) diagnosed with HCC and submitted to resection in a tertiary hospital during the period from January 2007 to June 2012 was conducted. Overall survival (OS), recurrence rates and perioperative mortality at 30 days were compared between patients with, respectively, G-HCC and S-HCC. Prognostic factors for OS were analysed.
The sample included 23 patients with G-HCC (26.7%) and 63 with S-HCC (73.3%) based on histological tumour size. Patient demographics and comorbidities were comparable. Median OS was 39.0 months in patients with G-HCC and 65.0 months in patients with S-HCC (P = 0.213). Although size did not affect OS in this cohort, the presence of satellite lesions [hazard ratio (HR) 3.70, P = 0.012] and perioperative blood transfusion (HR 2.85, P = 0.015) were negative predictors for OS.
Surgical resection of G-HCC provides OS comparable with that after resection of S-HCC.
巨大肝细胞癌(直径≥10 cm的肝细胞癌)的手术治疗仍存在争议。本研究旨在比较巨大肝细胞癌(G-HCC)和小肝细胞癌(S-HCC,直径<10 cm的肝细胞癌)手术切除的结果。
对2007年1月至2012年6月期间在一家三级医院诊断为肝细胞癌并接受手术切除的所有患者(n = 86)进行回顾性分析。比较G-HCC和S-HCC患者的总生存期(OS)、复发率和30天围手术期死亡率。分析OS的预后因素。
根据组织学肿瘤大小,样本包括23例G-HCC患者(26.7%)和63例S-HCC患者(73.3%)。患者的人口统计学特征和合并症具有可比性。G-HCC患者的中位OS为39.0个月,S-HCC患者为65.0个月(P = 0.213)。虽然肿瘤大小在该队列中不影响OS,但卫星灶的存在[风险比(HR)3.70,P = 0.012]和围手术期输血(HR 2.85,P = 0.015)是OS的负性预测因素。
G-HCC手术切除后的OS与S-HCC切除后的OS相当。
