          Abstract

          Background: The benefits of anatomical resection (AR) and non-anatomical resection (NAR) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with microscope vascular invasion (MVI) remain unknown. We aimed to investigate the prognostic outcomes of AR and NAR for HCC patients with MVI.

          Study Design: A total of 362 consecutive HCC patients diagnosed with MVI after hepatic resection between February 2005 and December 2013 were included in this study. The patient outcomes were compared, and a 1:2 propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was applied to eliminate selection bias.

          Results: Before PSM, compared to the NAR group, the AR group contained more patients that exceeded the Milan criteria, with larger, unilobar tumors and higher AST levels. After PSM, 100 patients were classified into the propensity-matched AR group (PS-AR), while 170 were classified into the propensity-matched NAR group (PS-NAR). Baseline data, including liver function and tumor burden measurements, were similar in the matched groups. The respective 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 78.9%, 56.9%, and 51.5% in the PS-AR group and 76.2%, 53.0%, and 42.4% in the PS-NAR group (P = 0.301). The 1-, 3- and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 51.1%, 44.7% and 42.0% in the PS-AR group and 44.9%, 34.3% and 26.4% in the PS-NAR group, respectively (P = 0.039). Multivariate analysis identified AR (P=0.025) as an independent favorable prognostic factor for DFS in HCC patients with MVI.

          Conclusions: Anatomical resection was superior to non-anatomical resection for improving DFS in hepatocellular carcinoma patients with microscope vascular invasion.

          Partial hepatectomy with wide versus narrow resection margin for solitary hepatocellular carcinoma: a prospective randomized trial.

          To compare the efficacy and safety of partial hepatectomy aiming grossly at a narrow (1 cm) and a wide (2 cm) resection margin in patients with macroscopically solitary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). For HCC treated with partial hepatectomy, the extent of the margin of liver resection remains controversial despite extensive studies. We conducted a prospective randomized trial in patients with solitary HCC. From January 1999 to February 2003, 169 patients with solitary HCC were stratified according to tumor size and randomized to undergo partial hepatectomy aiming grossly at either a narrow (1 cm) (n = 84) or a wide resection margin (2 cm) (n = 85). Analyses were done on an intention-to-treat basis. The demographic and pathologic data were similar in the 2 groups. The mean +/- SD for the final resection margin of the narrow and the wide margin groups were 0.7 +/- 0.4 cm and 1.9 +/- 0.6 cm, respectively. There was no significant difference in the morbidity and in-hospital mortality between the 2 groups of patients. The 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates for the narrow and the wide margin groups were 92.9%, 83.3%, 70.9%, and 49.1% and 96.5%, 91.8%, 86.9%, and 74.9%, respectively. The difference was significant (stratified log-rank test, P = 0.008). Multivariate analysis identified the presence of micrometastases and the treatment allocation were independent risk factors for tumor-related death. At the time of censor, 75 (44.4%) patients had developed tumor recurrence. All recurrences at the margins of liver resection were observed in the narrow margin group. Multiple tumor recurrence was also significantly higher in the narrow margin group (chi test, P = 0.018). Survival after tumor recurrence was significantly better in the wide margin group than the narrow margin group (log-rank test, P = 0.017). For macroscopically solitary HCC, a resection margin aiming grossly at 2 cm efficaciously and safely decreased postoperative recurrence rate and improved survival outcomes when compared with a gross resection margin aiming at 1 cm, especially for HCC < or =2 cm.

            Prognostic impact of anatomic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma.

            To evaluate the prognostic impact of anatomic versus nonanatomic resection on the patients' survival after resection of a single hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Anatomic resection is a reasonable treatment option for HCC; however, its clinical significance remains to be confirmed. Curative hepatic resection was performed for a single HCC in 210 patients; the patients were classified into the anatomic resection (n = 156) and nonanatomic resection (n = 54) groups. In 84 patients assigned to the anatomic resection group, segmentectomy or subsegmentectomy was performed. We evaluated the outcome of anatomic resection, including segmentectomy and subsegmentectomy, in comparison with that of nonanatomic resection, by the multivariate analysis taking into consideration 14 other clinical factors. Both the 5-year overall survival and disease-free survival rates in the anatomic resection group were significantly better than those in the nonanatomic resection group (66% versus 35%, P = 0.01, and 34% versus 16%, P = 0.006, respectively). In the segmentectomy and subsegmentectomy group, the 5-year overall and disease-free survival rates were 67% and 28%, respectively, both of which were also higher than the corresponding rates in the nonanatomic resection group (P = 0.007 and P = 0.001, respectively). The results of multivariate analysis revealed that anatomic resection was a significantly favorable factor for overall and disease-free survivals: the hazard ratios were 0.57 (95% confidence interval, 0.32-0.99, P= 0.04), and 0.65 (0.43-0.96, P = 0.03). Anatomic resection for a single HCC yields more favorable results rather than nonanatomic resection.

              The significance of classifying microvascular invasion in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

              Microvascular invasion (MVI) has been recognized as a risk factor for outcome following curative resection in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Because MVI can range from few to many invaded vessels, we evaluated the significance of MVI classification in this study.
