Outcomes of anterior approach major hepatectomy with diaphragmatic resection for single huge right lobe HCC with diaphragmatic invasion

Abstract: The outcomes following anterior approach (AA) hepatectomy in huge hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with diaphragmatic invasion (DI) remain unclear. This study compared the outcomes of single huge right HCC patients with and without DI after AA hepatectomy. A total of 203 consecutive patients with single huge right lobe HCC who underwent AA major hepatectomy were included. They were divided into group PDI (n = 53) and group ADI (n = 150) according to the presence or the absence of DI. Their short- and lo… Show more

“…In the current study, the 90-day mortality in patients with huge HCC accompanied by PVTT was significantly higher than in patients without PVTT (22.8% vs. 4.1%, P<0.001). The mortality rates both in the patients with PVTT and without PVTT were consistent with findings from the previous literature (8,9,45,46). The proportion of patients with PVTT might play a major role in the total mortality rate.…”

“…Surgical resection is considered a potential curative option for these patients and has been reported to provide a favorable overall survival (OS) in some patients (3,4). Although mortality after liver resection has been dramatically reduced in recent years with advances in surgical techniques and perioperative management (5)(6)(7), the postoperative mortality rate of hepatectomy for huge HCC, ranging from 2.7% to 18.1%, is still much higher than the routine liver resection (~1%) (8)(9)(10). As the natural history for a patient with advanced HCC is approximately 3-6 months after diagnosis (11), death within 3 months after hepatectomy is regarded as "futile liver resection," which should be avoided because it provides no survival benefit (8,12).…”

“…The high levels of AFP has been proved having more aggressive behaviors in previous ndings [27,28], especially for the levels of AFP higher than 1000 ng/mL. On the other hand, the levels of AFP higher than 400 ng/mL is a risk factor in huge tumors [29,30]. In the current study, the levels of AFP (≥400 ng/mL) has no signi cant difference.…”

“…HCC with diaphragmatic invasion often requires tumor en bloc with part of the diaphragm is often resected and anterior approach is recommended in minimizing intraoperative bleeding. [ 29 ] In advanced HCC patients, LT offers the best long-term survival when compared to complete resection, often limited by the amount of the future liver remnant, is believed to offer better 1- and 3-year survival. When the liver functional reserve becomes doubtful, other treatments such as transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and liver transplantation are still available as treatment options.…”
