Long-term survival after surgical resection for huge hepatocellular carcinoma: Comparison with transarterial chemoembolization after propensity score matching

Background and Aims Surgical resection (SR) and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) have been commonly applied for patients with huge hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, optimal treatment has not been established. Methods Between 2000 and 2009, 267 patients with huge HCC (≥ 10 cm) underwent...

Zusammenfassung:Background and Aims Surgical resection (SR) and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) have been commonly applied for patients with huge hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, optimal treatment has not been established. Methods Between 2000 and 2009, 267 patients with huge HCC (≥ 10 cm) underwent TACE and 84 underwent SR as the first treatment. Propensity score matching generated a matched cohort composed of 152 patients. We investigated overall survival and possible prognostic factors. Results At baseline, the surgery group showed a tendency to have solitary tumor (72.6% vs 39.3%, P
