A nomogram predicting the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients after laparoscopic hepatectomy

Abstract: BackgroundPatients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing surgical resection still have a high 5-year recurrence rate (~ 60%). With the development of laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH), few studies have compared the efficacy between LH and traditional surgical approach on HCC. The objective of this study was to establish a nomogram to evaluate the risk of recurrence in HCC patients who underwent LH.MethodsThe clinical data of 432 patients, pathologically diagnosed with HCC, underwent LH as initial treatmen… Show more

“…Due to the high cumulative 5-year recurrence rate of intrahepatic recurrent HCC after initial ablation, optimal treatment strategy for those patients is urgently warranted. However, because of limited data available regarding the optimal therapeutic strategy for recurrent HCC receiving local ablation as initial treatment, the selection between providing re-ablation or resection as salvage therapy for recurrent HCC still remains highly debatable [13, 20-25]. Prospective randomized trials could provide reliable evidence; however, these are difficult to perform because treatment courses are determined considering various clinical factors, such as tumor size and location.…”

“…Early prediction of MVI in hepatocellular carcinoma remains elusive. Studies have shown that microvascular violation of state can be reflected by specific clinical hematological indicators, such as desgamma-carboxyprothrombin (PIVKA-II), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), and peripheral neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (7,8); also, it can be predicted by tumor size, multiple tumor nodules, tumor rough edges, incomplete capsule, and nuclear magnetic resonance arterial peritumoral enhancement imaging characteristics and changes in peritumoral hepatobiliary specific density of microvessels (9)(10)(11)(12). Currently, Radiomics is the most popular method for microvascular invasion assessment and prediction (13).…”

“…Moreover, the number of studies revealed the association between different clinicopathological factors like AFP level, tumor size, HBsAg and vascular invasion, etc. with the tumor recurrence in HCC; thus, these were also established as prognostic indicators for prediction of HCC recurrence [13,16,[20][21][22][23]. However, the molecular and genetic aspect of tumor recurrence remains invincible from them.…”
