RESUMO

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for 75-85% of primary liver malignancies, and elderlies have the highest incidence rates. Direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) have shown satisfying results in terms of HCV sustained viral response (SVR). However, data regarding HCC risk post-DAA-SVR is still conflicting. This study aims to consider HCC onset in moderate underlying liver disease. We conducted a retrospective study on 227 chronically infected patients (cHCV), treated with DAAs. Patients were divided into three groups: "de novo occurrent HCC", "recurrent HCC", and "without HCC". Fifty-six patients aged <65 years (yDAA) were studied separately. HCC patients aged ≥65 years (DAA-HCC) were compared to a historical group of 100 elderly HCC patients, treated with peginterferon (Peg-IFN) ± ribavirin antiviral agents, non-SVR (hHCC). The HCC prevalence in DAA patients was 32.75%: "de novo occurrent'' 18.13% and "recurrent'' 14.62%, despite 42.85% of them having no fibrosis to mild or moderate fibrosis (F0-F1-F2). yDAA showed 5.36% "de novo occurrent" HCC. Curative procedure rates were compared between DAA-HCC and hHCC at the first and at recurrent presentation (22 (39.29%) vs. 72 (72%); 17 (30.36%) vs. 70 (70%), respectively (p < 0.001)). No significant difference was found in 3-year OS (p = 0.6). However, in cause-specific mortality analysis, HCC-related death was higher in the DAA-treated group, whereas cirrhosis-related death was more common in the historical group (p = 0.0288), considering together the two causes of death. A more accurate patient stratification according to multifactorial and new diagnostic investigations identifying HCC risk might allow an improvement in management and access to curative therapies.
