ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The development of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy has revolutionized HCV management. We present a large national study comparing post-LT outcomes for HBV-HCC vs. HCV-HCC according to DAA era.METHODS:
Data were collected from OPTN/UNOS Registry. Groups included pre-DAA (January 2003-October 2013) and post-DAA (November2013-January2019) eras. Outcomes for patients with HBV(n = 2000) vs. HCV(n = 18,964) were compared in each era.RESULTS:
In the pre-DAA era, there were significant differences between HBV-versus HCV, including the percentage of Caucasian race, pre-LT and maximum AFP levels <20 ng/mL, MELD-score, complete tumor necrosis, and vascular invasion. In the post-DAA-era, differences were noted in wait time>9 months, the percentage of Caucasian race, pre-LT and AFP(max) levels<20 ng/mL, and MELD-score. In the pre-DAA-era, the 5-and-10 year survival rates were 80.5% and 71% for HBV-HCC, and 69% and 54.4% for HCV-HCC (p < 0.001); in the post-DAA-era, 5-year survival was 83.4% for HBV-HCC and 78.5% for HCV-HCC(p = 0.08). Independent pre-LT predictors of lower survival included recipient and donor age>50yrs, wait-time>9months, higher MELD-score (p < 0.001), AFP level>20 ng/mL, and MC at diagnosis. HCV status did not predict outcome in the post-DAA-era after adjusting for tumor characteristics.CONCLUSION:
After the introduction of effective DAA-HCV therapy, results of LT for HCV-HCC are significantly improved and are no longer statistically different from results in patients with HBV-HCC.
