ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The feasibility of association liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) for solitary huge hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, maximal diameter ≥ 10 cm) remains uncertain. This study aims to evaluate the safety and the efficacy of ALPPS for patients with solitary huge HCC.METHODS:
Twenty patients with solitary huge HCC who received ALPPS during January 2017 and December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The oncological characteristics of contemporaneous patients who underwent one-stage resection and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) were compared using propensity score matching (PSM).RESULTS:
All patients underwent complete two-staged ALPPS. The median future liver remnant from the ALPPS-I stage to the ALPPS-II stage increased by 64.5% (range = 22.3-221.9%) with a median interval of 18 days (range = 10-54 days). The 90-day mortality rate after the ALPPS-II stage was 5%. The 1- and 3-year overall survival (OS) rates were 70.0% and 57.4%, respectively, whereas the 1- and 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 60.0% and 43.0%, respectively. In the one-to-one PSM analysis, the long-term survival of patients who received ALPPS was significantly better than those who received TACE (OS, P = 0.007; PFS, P = 0.011) but comparable with those who underwent one-stage resection (OS, P = 0.463; PFS, P = 0.786).CONCLUSION:
The surgical outcomes of ALPPS were superior to those of TACE and similar to those of one-stage resection. ALPPS is a safe and effective treatment strategy for patients with unresectable solitary huge HCC.Palavras-chave
