A Long-term Survival Analysis of Different Surgical Method in Early Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Completed
Conditions
Long-term Effects of Cancer Treatment
Interventions
Procedure: liver resection
Registration Number
NCT05117047
Lead Sponsor
Chen Xiaoping
Brief Summary

The investigators established three prospective cohorts of patients with BCLC stage 0-A HCC, based on different surgical approaches (open, laparoscopic and robotic). After 5 years of follow-up, the investigators used propensity score matching (PSM) to reduce selection bias and then compared the long-term oncological outcomes of the three different surgical approaches, which might provide high-level evidence in non-randomized observational studies.

Detailed Description

In this study, three prospective cohorts of patients with BCLC stage 0-A HCC, underwent complete liver resection using different surgical approaches (OLR, LLR, and RALR), were established. After adequate periods of follow-up, the long-term oncological outcomes of the three different surgical approaches were compared, providing a higher level of evidence using a non-randomized comparative study based on propensity score matching (PSM) analysis.

robot-assisted liver resectionliver resectionIn this study, the investigators included all HCC patients with BCLC stage 0-A (n=1669) who underwent hepatectomy over an 1 ½ year study period, and divided them into three study cohorts according to the operations they received. These were consecutive patients who met the inclusion criteria of the study. 71 HCC patients were included in robotic liver resection cohort.
laparoscopic liver resectionliver resectionIn this study, the investigators included all HCC patients with BCLC stage 0-A (n=1669) who underwent hepatectomy over an 1 ½ year study period, and divided them into three study cohorts according to the operations they received. These were consecutive patients who met the inclusion criteria of the study. 141 HCC patients were included in laparoscopic liver resection cohort.
open liver resectionliver resectionIn this study, the investigators included all HCC patients with BCLC stage 0-A (n=1669) who underwent hepatectomy over an 1 ½ year study period, and divided them into three study cohorts according to the operations they received. These were consecutive patients who met the inclusion criteria of the study. 157 HCC patients were included in open liver resection cohort.
