As mentioned in the text, the Child–Pugh classification is not sensitive enough to accurately identifypatients with advanced liver failure who would deserve consideration for liver transplantation. Some patients corresponding toChild–Pugh class B, and even Child–Pugh class A, could have poor outcomes because of events such as spontaneousbacterial peritonitis, recurrent variceal bleeding, refractory ascites, hepatorenal syndrome, recurrent encephalopathy, or severemalnutrition, which are not registered in the Child–Pugh classification. Patients with end-stage cirrhosis due to heavilyimpaired liver function (Child–Pugh class C or earlier stages with predictors of poor outcome, or high Model for End-StageLiver Disease [MELD] scores) should be considered for liver transplantation.

survival (P = .111 and P = .163, respectively).

In the surgical resection group, there were no differences between patients with central HCC or periph-eral HCC in terms of overall and recur-rence-free survival (P = .869, P = .088, respectively).

Mortality and MorbidityOne death was considered to be related to treatment, and this occurred in a pa-tient in the surgical resection group with central HCC (Table 4). This patient died of a rupture of esophagogastric varices 3 days after treatment, resulting in an in-hospital mortality rate of 1.4% (one of 74 patients) for the surgical resec-tion group. The corresponding figure for the RF ablation group was 0% (zero of 71 patients). Major complications occurred significantly more often in the surgical resection group (38 of 74 patients) than in the RF ablation group (14 of 71 patients) (P = .009) (Table 5).There was no evidence of tumor-track seeding after percutaneous RF ablation. Pain and fever were the most commonly seen minor complications after treat-ment. Posttreatment fever of more than

RF ablation and 93.6%, 79.0%, and 68.4% with surgical resection; there were no significant differences be-tween these two groups (P = .217). The corresponding recurrence-free survival rates were 75.4%, 65.4%, and 60.0% with RF ablation and 79.4%, 61.6%, and 54.0% with surgical resec-tion. There were no significant differ-ences between these two groups (P = .775).

For patients with HBV viral loads of more than 103 copies per milliliter, the 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates were 96.3%, 88.9%, and 65.5% with RF ablation and 87.0%, 68.6%, and 56.2% with surgical resection; there were no significant differences between these two groups (P = .095). The corresponding recurrence-free survival rates were 77.9%, 59.2%, and 54.9% with RF ablation and 72.3%, 54.0%, and 49.0% with surgical resection. There were no significant differences between these two groups (P = .219).

In the RF ablation group, there were no differences between patients with central HCC or peripheral HCC in terms of overall and recurrence-free

92.0%, 71.6%, and 61.5% with surgical resection. The survival curve for the RF ablation group was better than that for the surgical resection group (Fig 3a, P = .020). The corresponding recurrence-free survival rates were 86.5%, 74.0%, and 67.0% with RF ablation and 68.0%, 40.0%, and 40.0% with surgi-cal resection. The survival curve for the RF ablation group was better than that for the surgical resection group (Fig 3b, P = .033).

For patients with peripheral HCC, the 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates were 97.3%, 83.3%, and 65.1% with RF ablation and 87.8%, 68.4%, and 62.9% with surgical resection; there were no significant differences between these two groups (P = .464). The corresponding recurrence-free survival rates were 68.7%, 59.2%, and 54.9% with RF ablation and 82.9%, 66.6%, and 52.9% with surgical resec-tion. There were no significant differ-ences between these two groups (P = .351).

For patients with HBV viral loads of 103 copies per milliliter or less, the 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates were 98.7%, 86.9%, and 72.2% with

67, and 83 % in the LR group versus 4, 18, and 20 % in theLT group (p \ 0.001) (Fig. 2). Overall mortality was

higher in patients of the LR group 70.5 % (67 of 95) versus

51.3 % (61 of 119), in the LT group (p = 0.004). Differ-ences were also observed in the causes of death.

Survival

No statistical differences were observed in long-term

survival between the LR and LT groups (Fig. 3a). Astratified survival analysis was made between groups. In

the first stratum, 1- and 4-year survival was 85 and 60 % in

the LR group versus 82 and 62 % in the LT group

(p = 0.3) (Fig. 3b). In the second stratum, 10-year survival

was 33 % in the LR group versus 49 % in the LT group

(p = 0.002) (Fig. 3c).

Characteristics and Patient Outcome of LR (Very Earlyand Early HCC) and LT Groups

No differences in preoperative tumor characteristics,

pathologic findings, tumor recurrence, and mortality werefound between the LR groups (very early and early HCC).

It should be noted that according to the ITT principle, a

higher number of patients were included on the waiting listfor salvage transplantation in the very early HCC group

27.3 % (6 of 22) compared to the early HCC group 15.1 %

(11 of 73) (p = 0.2), although this was not statisticallysignificant (Table 2).

Actuarial patient survival at 1, 5, and 10 years was 95,

55, and 50 % in the very early HCC group versus 82, 50,and 29 % in the early HCC group (Fig. 4). One-, 5-, and

10-year disease-free survival was 82, 27, and 27 % in the

very early HCC group versus 81, 35, and 13 % in the earlyHCC group (p = 0.9). After salvage transplantation was

applied (very early HCC group n = 5 and early HCC group

n = 10), no recurrence was observed in the very earlyHCC group versus 40 % in the early HCC group (p = 0.2).

The cumulative risk of recurrence after salvage transplan-

tation at 1, 3, and 10 years was 0, 0, and 0 % in the veryearly HCC group versus 20, 30, and 40 % in the early HCC

group (p = 0.1). Actuarial 1-, 3- and 5-year patient sur-

vival after salvage transplantation was 80, 60, and 60 % inthe very early HCC group versus 80, 70, and 46 % in the

early HCC group (p = 0.8).

Patients in the LT group had larger tumors at pathologicstudy than those in the very early HCC group. Moreover,

the tumor recurrence rate was higher in the very early HCC

group compared to that in the LT group. On the other hand,no differences were observed in 1-, 5-, and 10-year

centers in North America, waiting list periods are long, and

LR would probably be more justifiable than at our center,where time on the waiting list was shorter.40 Moreover,

compared to our study analyzing single nodules, both of the

above-mentioned studies included patients with multifocaltumors. Including only patients with single nodules may

make HCC progression on the waiting list less probable,

with a lower dropout rate.Concerning patient survival, many studies reported dif-

ferent 5-year survivals in patients who underwent LR and

those who underwent LT. Those studies included heteroge-neous HCC because patients with uni- and multinodular

tumors were included.16–22 In a previous study conducted at

our department, 5-year survival between groups was similar.41

Although a different cohort of patients was analyzed in

the present study, no differences were observed in 5-year

actuarial survival between patients in the LR and LTgroups. After 5 years of follow-up, both curves separated

dramatically, thereby indicating clear differences in sur-

vival. When actuarial survival was analyzed by strata,patients in the LT group had significantly better long-term

actuarial survival. The poor outcome in the LR group was

expected as a result of the high recurrence rate.However, no differences were observed when a sub-

group of patients with very early HCC was compared to

those of the LT group despite a significantly higher inci-dence of tumor recurrence. Therefore, the poor 10-year

actuarial survival achieved in the LR group was due to

cirrhotic patients with HCC[2 cm. This is one of the mostimportant features of our study.

On the other hand, salvage transplantation in the

setting of tumor recurrence after LR for HCC has beenwidely accepted as a good approach, with excellent post-

transplantation survival rates despite its low appli-

cability.7,27,31–33 In fact, in a recent study conducted in ourdepartment, patients with late recurrence ([12 months)

after LR who underwent salvage transplantation yielded

comparable results to those primarily transplanted.27 Whenthe low applicability of salvage transplantation in patients

with HCC recurrence was analyzed in the present studypopulation (only 22 %), patients with very early HCC were

found to have a higher chance of being transplanted;

however, perhaps owing to the small number of patients,this finding did not reach statistical significance. Moreover,

once the patients had been transplanted, those in the very

early HCC group had a much better outcome, and noneexperienced posttransplantation HCC recurrence; however,

given the small number of patients analyzed, these results

should be considered with caution.In summary, the present study is, to our knowledge, the

first to compare the 10-year outcome of cirrhotic patients

with single HCC B5 cm who underwent LR or LTaccording to ITT analysis. Regarding our results in the

setting of short waiting list time and low dropout, LT

achieved the best long-term outcome in terms of survivaland recurrence. However, when a subgroup of patients with

very early HCC was analyzed, similar 10-year survival was

found compared with the LT group, although the recur-rence rate remained very high.

Thus, we can conclude that for very early HCC in com-

pensated cirrhotic patients, LR is the treatment of choice whentechnically feasible. On the other hand, given the best 10-year

outcome achieved with LT in the early HCC group, we would

recommend transplantation for these patients. It should betaken into account that this study was conducted in the setting

of a short waiting list time, and the applicability of this

approach by other groups should be evaluated by each centeraccording to waiting list and donor potentiality.

nodule and among separate nodules.98,99 This poses a majorchallenge to the use of molecular analyses of biopsy speci-mens to determine prognosis or select treatment (see Pinyolet al100 and Borel et al101 for reviews on this subject).

TreatmentThe end point of treatment is to increase survival.

Treatments should not be offered because they are techni-cally possible.102 Treatment indications have been refined,and if patients are not candidates for first-line therapy asper stage, they can be given the treatment for a moreadvanced-stage tumor (treatment stage migration; seeFigure 3).82

BCLC Stage 0Surgery is no longer the only first-line treatment.

Resection, transplantation, and ablation provide excellentresults for single lesions !2 cm (T1 stage) in patients withpreserved liver function.82,102–104 Rates of 5-year survivalrange from 60% to 80%.105,106

Although there has been no robust trial to compare theefficacy of surgery versus ablation,107 case-control andmodeling studies have shown ablation to be noninferior andmore cost-effective for patients with very early-stageHCCs.108,109 There are no data to guide decision makingfor small tumors when patients may be candidates for alloptions. Some have reserved liver transplantation for pa-tients with recurrence of cancer after treatment.110 Others

Figure 2. Staging and treatment according to the BCLC system. The first step in evaluation of patients combines prognosis(upper section) with selection of treatment (lower section). Prognoses are made based on clinical and tumor parameters. As inall recommendations, the treatment should be selected based on a detailed evaluation of characteristics such as the patient’sage and comorbidities. As mentioned in the text, the Child–Pugh classification is not sensitive enough to accurately identifypatients with advanced liver failure who would deserve consideration for liver transplantation. Some patients corresponding toChild–Pugh class B, and even Child–Pugh class A, could have poor outcomes because of events such as spontaneousbacterial peritonitis, recurrent variceal bleeding, refractory ascites, hepatorenal syndrome, recurrent encephalopathy, or severemalnutrition, which are not registered in the Child–Pugh classification. Patients with end-stage cirrhosis due to heavilyimpaired liver function (Child–Pugh class C or earlier stages with predictors of poor outcome, or high Model for End-StageLiver Disease [MELD] scores) should be considered for liver transplantation. In these patients, HCC may become a contra-indication if it exceeds the enlistment criteria. Modified with permission from Forner et al81 and Reig et al.82
