Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a prognostic marker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We investigated the prognostic value of AFP levels in patients who achieved complete response (CR) to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for HCC. Between 2005 and 2018, 890 patients with HCC who achieved a CR to TACE were recruited. An AFP responder was defined a...

BackgroundThe gut-liver axis plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the correlations between the gut microbiome and the liver tumor transcriptome in patients with HCC and the impact of the gut microbiota on clinical outcome are less well-understood.MethodsFecal samples collected from HBV-related HCC pat...

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of balloon-occluded transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (B-TACE) for the treatment of HCC refractory to conventional TACE (C-TACE). This single-center retrospective analysis included 60 consecutive patients who underwent B-TACE (mean age, 61.4 years; male:female ratio, 4.5:1) for the treatment of residual vi...

This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) in Korean patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to investigate the risk factors associated with HCC recurrence. A total of 100 patients with HCV-related HCC, who were treated with DAAs between May 2015 and December 2016, w...

To evaluate the role of change in apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram after the first transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in predicting overall and transplant-free survival in well-circumscribed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Institution database was searched for HCC patients who got conventional TACE during 2005-2016. One hundred fo...

To investigate the effect of Bushen Jianpi formula (BSJP) therapy on survival of the patients with moderate and advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This was a five-year retrospective study, enrolling 209 adult patients with moderate and advanced HCC patients. Log-rank test, Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier analysis was applied to analy...

The treatment outcomes and prognostic markers of acute variceal bleeding (AVB) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients remain unclear. Therefore, we evaluated the clinical outcomes and prognostic factors of AVB in HCC patients. Cirrhotic patients with endoscopically confirmed AVB between 2007 and 2013 were enrolled in this prospective study. Pro...

Prognostic models are lacking for patients with recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) following surgical resection. This study devised and validated a new hepatoma arterial-embolization prognostic (HAP) score optimized for use in patients undergoing treatment with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for recurrence subsequent to surgical resec...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of introducing diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) as a major feature to extracellular agent (ECA)-MRI for diagnosing HCC in comparison with gadoxetic acid (hepatobiliary agent, HBA)-MRI using Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) v2018. This was a prospective intra-individua...

Patients with an intermediate stage of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represent a highly heterogeneous population; therefore, many models have been proposed to predict the survival of these patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic performance of a novel subclassification for tumors classified as Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (...
