MRI-based prediction of the need for wide resection margins in patients with single hepatocellular carcinoma. Eur Radiol 2025; 35:1772-1784. [PMID: 39235653 PMCID: PMC11913993 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-024-11043-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2024] [Revised: 07/26/2024] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 09/06/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop an MRI-based score that enables individualized predictions of the survival benefit of wide over narrow resection margins. MATERIALS AND METHODS This single-center retrospective study (December 2011 to May 2022) included consecutive patients who underwent curative-intent resection for single Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) 0/A HCC and preoperative contrast-enhanced MRI. In patients with narrow resection margins, preoperative demographic, laboratory, and MRI variables independently associated with early recurrence-free survival (RFS) were identified using Cox regression analyses, which were employed to develop a predictive score (named "MARGIN"). Survival outcomes were compared between wide and narrow resection margins in a propensity-score matched cohort for the score-stratified low- and high-risk groups, respectively. RESULTS Four hundred nineteen patients (median age, 54 years; 361 men) were included, 282 (67.3%) undergoing narrow resection margins. In patients with narrow resection margins, age, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) > 400 ng/mL, protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist-II (PIVKA-II) > 200 mAU/mL, radiological involvement of liver capsule, and infiltrative appearance were associated with early RFS (p values, 0.002-0.04) and formed the MARGIN score with a testing dataset C-index of 0.75 (95% CI: 0.65-0.84). In the matched cohort, wide resection margin was associated with improved early RFS rate for the high-risk group (MARGIN score ≥ - 1.3; 71.1% vs 41.0%; p = 0.02), but not for the low-risk group (MARGIN score < - 1.3; 79.7% vs 76.1%; p = 0.36). CONCLUSION In patients with single BCLC 0/A HCC, the MARGIN score may serve as promising decision-making to indicate the need for wide resection margins. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT The MARGIN score has the potential to identify patients who would benefit more from wide resection margins than narrow resection margins, improving the postoperative survival of patients with single BCLC 0/A hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). KEY POINTS Age, AFP, PIVKA-II, radiological involvement of liver capsule, and infiltrative appearance were associated with early RFS and formed the MARGIN score. The MARGIN score achieved a testing dataset C-index of 0.75. Wide resection margins were associated with improved early RFS for the high-risk group, but not for the low-risk group.

[PMID: 39760822 DOI: 10.1007/s12072-024-10754-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2024] [Accepted: 11/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/07/2025]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Large hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is difficult to resect and accompanied by poor outcome. The aim was to evaluate the short-term and long-term outcomes of patients who underwent liver resection for large HCC, eventually drawing prediction models for short-term and long-term outcomes. METHODS 1710 large HCC patients were recruited and randomly divided into the training (n = 1140) and validation (n = 570) cohorts in a 2:1 ratio. Independent risk factors were identified by regression model and used to establish three nomograms for surgical risk, overall survival (OS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in the training cohort. Model performances were assessed by discrimination and calibration. The three models were also compared with six other staging systems. RESULTS Platelet (PLT), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade, blood transfusion and loss, resection margin, tumor size, and tumor number were established in a nomogram to evaluate surgical risk ( https://largehcc.shinyapps.io/largehcc-morbidity/ ). The model had a good prediction capability with a C-index of 0.764 and 0.773 in the training and validation cohorts. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), resection margin, tumor size, tumor number, microvascular invasion, Edmondson-Steiner grade, tumor capsular, and satellite nodules were considered to construct a prognostic nomogram to predict the 1-, 3- and 5-year OS ( https://largehcc.shinyapps.io/largehcc-os/ ). The C-index of the model was 0.709 and 0.702 for the training and validation cohorts. Liver cirrhosis, albumin (ALB), total bilirubin (TBIL), AFP, tumor size, tumor number, microvascular invasion, and tumor capsular were used to draw a prognostic nomogram to predict the 1-, 3- and 5-year RFS ( https://largehcc.shinyapps.io/largehcc-rfs/ ). The C-index of the model was 0.695 and 0.675 in the training and validation cohorts. The discrimination showed that the models had significantly better predictive performances than six other staging systems. CONCLUSIONS Three novel nomograms were developed to predict short-term and long-term outcomes in patients with large HCC who underwent curative resection with adequate performance. These predictive models could help to design therapeutic interventions and surveillance for patients with large HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the impact and predictors of an ideal surgical care following SLHCC resection. METHODS SLHCC patients who underwent LR in two tertiary hepatobiliary centers between 2000 and 2021 were retrieved from prospectively maintained databases. The quality of surgical care was measured by the textbook outcome (TO). Tumor burden was defined by the tumor burden score (TBS). Factors associated with TO were determined on multivariate analysis. The impact of TO on oncological outcomes was assessed using Cox regressions. RESULTS Overall, 103 SLHCC patients were included. Laparoscopic approach was considered in 65 (63.1%) patients and 79 (76.7%) patients presented with moderate TBS. TO was achieved in 54 (52.4%) patients. Laparoscopic approach was independently associated with TO (OR 2.57; 95% CI 1.03-6.64; p = 0.045). Within 19 (6-38) months of median follow up, patients who achieved TO had better OS compared to non-TO patients (1-year OS: 91.7% vs. 66.9%; 5-year OS: 83.4% vs. 37.0%, p < 0.0001). On multivariate analysis, TO was independently associated with improved OS, especially in non-cirrhotic patients (HR 0.11; 95% CI 0.02-0.52, p = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS TO achievement could be a relevant surrogate marker of improved oncological care following SLHCC resection in non-cirrhotic patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) management is not clearly defined. Our objective was to analyze the utility of dual-PET/CT (18F-FDG + 18F-Choline) imaging findings on the BCLC staging and treatment decision for HCC patients. METHODS Between January 2011 and April 2019, 168 consecutive HCC patients with available baseline dual-PET/CT imaging data were retrospectively analyzed. To identify potential refinement criteria for surgically-treated patients, survival Kaplan-Meier curves of various standard-of-care and dual-PET/CT baseline parameters were estimated. Finally, multivariate cox proportional hazard ratios of the most relevant clinico-biological and/or PET parameters were estimated. RESULTS Dual-PET/CT findings increased the score of BCLC staging in 21 (12.5%) cases. In 24.4% (N.=41) of patients, the treatment strategy was modified by the PET findings. Combining AFP levels at a threshold of 10 ng/mL with 18F-FDG or 18F-Choline N status significantly impacted DFS (P<0.05). In particular, the combined criteria of the N+ status assessed by 18F-Choline with AFP threshold of 10 ng/mL provided a highly predictive composite parameter for estimation of DFS according to multivariate analysis (HR=10.6, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The 18F-Choline / AFP composite parameter appears promising, and further prospective studies are mandatory to validate its oncological impact.

Resection Margin Width Does Not Influence the Prognosis of Solitary Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Anatomic Resection: A Real-World Study from China. J Hepatocell Carcinoma 2023; 10:1353-1365. [PMID: 37605757 PMCID: PMC10440086 DOI: 10.2147/jhc.s420828] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2023] [Accepted: 07/29/2023] [Indexed: 08/23/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The influence of resection margin (RM) width on the prognosis of solitary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) following anatomical resection (AR) has yet to be determined. Therefore, we conducted a real-world study to identify the optimal RM width and assess its impact on the outcomes of solitary HCC patients undergoing AR. METHODS The data pertaining to patients diagnosed with solitary HCC who underwent AR between December 2012 and December 2015 were retrospectively collected. The optimal cutoff value for the width of the RM was determined using X-tile software. The Kaplan-Meier method was utilized to compare the overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) between the narrow and wide RM groups. Additionally, propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to minimize potential bias in the data. RESULTS Of the 1033 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 293 (28.4%) were categorized into the narrow RM group (≤4 mm) and 740 (71.6%) into the wide RM group (> 4mm). Before and after PSM, there were no significant differences in OS and DFS between the two groups (before PSM: OS, HR=0.78, P=0.071; DFS, HR=0.95, P=0.620; after PSM: OS, HR=0.77, P=0.150; DFS, HR=0.90, P=0.470). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that RM width was not an independent risk factor for DFS and OS both before and after PSM (all P>0.05). However, subgroup analyses revealed that patients with ALBI grade 1, absence of cirrhosis, and AJCC stage II significantly benefited from wide RM in OS (all P< 0.05). Similarly, patients without HBV infection and absence of cirrhosis also exhibited significant benefits from wide RM in DFS (both P< 0.05). CONCLUSION In patients with solitary HCC undergoing AR, the width of the RM does not appear to have a significant impact on their prognosis. However, in certain selected patients, a wider RM may confer benefits.

Efficacy of Lipid Nanoparticle-Loaded Sorafenib Combined with Hepatic Artery Chemoembolization in the Treatment of Primary Hepatocellular Carcinoma Complicated with Microvascular Invasion. DISEASE MARKERS 2022; 2022:4996471. [PMID: 35634437 PMCID: PMC9142283 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4996471] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2022] [Revised: 04/21/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
This work was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of lipid nanoparticle-loaded sorafenib combined with transcatheter artery chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HC) complicated with microvascular invasion (MVI). In this work, 102 patients with primary HC combined with MVI after radical resection were divided into 4 groups according to different treatment methods. Experimental group 1 was treated with lipid nanoparticle-loaded sorafenib combined with TACE treatment group; experimental group 2 was treated with lipid nanoparticle-loaded sorafenib treatment group; experimental group 3 was TACE treatment group; control group was postoperative routine nursing group. Sorafenib lipid nanoparticles were prepared. The basic information, operation, MVI degree, tumor recurrence, and survival time of patients in each group were recorded and compared to evaluate the therapeutic effect of combined way. No great difference was found in MVI grade, average age, sex ratio, preoperative tumor markers, tumor size, number of patients with liver cirrhosis, operation time, and intraoperative bleeding among the four groups (P > 0.05). In addition, the tumor free survival time (TFST), overall survival time (OST), and postoperative 1-year and 2-year survival rates of patients in test group 1 were greatly higher than those in single mode treatment group and control group (P < 0.05). In summary, sorafenib nanoparticles combined with TACE can improve the survival status of patients after resection and delay the time of postoperative tumor recurrence.
