Abstrakt: Purpose: To compare the survival outcomes of patients treated with transarterial ethanol ablation (TEA) with those treated with liver resection (LR) for solitary HCC less than 5 cm in diameter, in patients stratified according to liver function using ALBI grade.
Materials and Methods: This retrospective study approved by the Institutional Committee included all treatment-naïve patients with solitary HCC (≤ 5 cm) and Child-Pugh score 5, and who had received TEA (33 patients) or LR (192 patients) between 2004 and 2012. Treatment outcomes were compared between patients treated with TEA and LR after a period of at least 7 years of follow-up. Comparison was repeated for those patients with ALBI grade 2 or 3.
Results: Both overall survival (OS, months) and recurrence-free survival (RFS months) were significantly longer in the LR group (OS: LR 129.7[119.5, 140], TEA 69.1[55.9, 82.3], P < 0.0001; RFS: LR 91.3[43.5, 139.1], TEA 13.8 [11, 16.5], P < 0.0001). In patients with ALBI grade 2 or 3, there was no significant difference between the groups in OS or RFS (OS: LR 43.1[0, 91.2], TEA 55.4 [43.7, 67.2], P = 0.65; RFS: LR 17.8 [11.4, 24.2], TEA 11.9 [6.7, 17.1], P = 0.132). Transient epigastric discomfort and low-grade fever without consequence occurred in 8 patients (8/33 or 24.2%) in the TEA group.
Conclusion: The overall survival after LR for HCCs ≤ 5 cm was superior to that after TEA but similar when compared in patients with ALBI grade 2 or 3, the ALBI grade is useful for patient selection for TEA or LR for HCCs ≤ 5 cm.
