| 1 | Bridging and downstaging treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma in patients on the waiting list for liver transplantation显示文摘Several therapeutic procedures have been proposed as bridging treatments for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)awaiting liver transplantation(LT).The most used treatments include transarterial chemoembolization and radiofrequency ablation.Surgical resection has also been successfully used as a bridging procedure,and LT should be considered a rescue treatment in patients with previous HCC resection who experience tumor recurrence or post-treatment severe decompensation of liver function.The aims of bridging treatments include decreasing the waiting list dropout rate before transplantation,reducing HCC recurrence after transplantation,and improving post-transplant overall survival.To date,no data from prospective randomized studies are available;however,for HCC patients listed for LT within the Milan criteria,prolonging the waiting time over 6-12 mo is a risk factor for tumor spread.Bridging treatments are useful in containing tumor progression and decreasing dropout.Furthermore,the response to pre-LT treatments may represent a surrogate marker of tumor biological aggressiveness and could therefore be evaluated to prioritize HCC candidates for LT.Lastly,although a definitive conclusion can not be reached,the experiences reported to date suggest a positive impact of these treatments on both tumor recurrence and post-transplant patient survival.Advanced HCC may be downstaged to achieve and maintain the current conventional criteria for inclusion in the waiting list for LT.Recent studies have demonstrated that successfully downstaged patients can achieve a 5-year survival rate comparable to that of patients meeting the conventional criteria without requiring downstaging. | Maurizio Pompili Giampiero Francica Francesca Romana Ponziani Roberto Iezzi Alfonso Wolfango Avolio | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,43: | 24 |
| 2 | Treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with portal vein tumor thrombosis: Beyond the known frontiers显示文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most frequent malignant tumors worldwide:Portal vein tumor thrombosis(PVTT)occurs in about 35%-50%of patients and represents a strong negative prognostic factor,due to the increased risk of tumor spread into the bloodstream,leading to a high recurrence risk.For this reason,it is a contraindication to liver transplantation and in several prognostic scores sorafenib represents its standard of care,due to its antiangiogenetic action,although it can grant only a poor prolongation of life expectancy.Recent scientific evidences lead to consider PVTT as a complex anatomical and clinical condition,including a wide range of patients with different prognosis and new treatment possibilities according to the degree of portal system involvement,tumor biological aggressiveness,complications caused by portal hypertension,patient’s clinical features and tolerance to antineoplastic treatments.The median survival has been reported to range between 2.7 and 4 mo in absence of therapy,but it can vary from 5 mo to 5 years,thus depicting an extremely variable scenario.For this reason,it is extremely important to focus on the most adequate strategy to be applied to each group of PVTT patients. | Lucia Cerrito Brigida Eleonora Annicchiarico Roberto Iezzi Antonio Gasbarrini Maurizio Pompili Francesca Romana Ponziani | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,31: | 21 |
| 3 | Combined locoregional treatment of patients withhepatocellular carcinoma: state of the art显示文摘In recent years, a combination of intervention therapies has been widely applied in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). One such combined strategy is based on the combination of the percutaneous approach, such as radiofrequency ablation(RFA), and the intra-arterial locoregional approach, such as trans-arterial chemoembolization(TACE). Several types of evidence have supported the feasibility and benefit of combined therapy, despite some studies reporting conflicting results and outcomes. The aim of this review was to explain the technical aspects of different combined treatments and to comprehensively analyze and compare the clinical efficacy and safety of this combined treatment option and monotherapy, either as TACE or RFA alone, in order to provide clinicians with an unbiased opinion and valuable information. Based on a literature review and our experience, combined treatment seems to be a safe and effective option in the treatment of patients with early/intermediate HCC when surgical resection is not feasible; furthermore, this approach provides better results than RFA and TACE alone for the treatment of large HCC, defined as those exceeding 3 cm in size. It can also expand the indication for RFA to previously contraindicated 'complex cases', with increased risk of thermal ablation related complications due to tumor location, or to 'complex patients' with high bleeding risk. | Roberto Iezzi Maurizio Pompili Alessandro Posa Giuseppe Coppola Antonio Gasbarrini Lorenzo Bonomo | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,6: | 15 |
| 4 | Hepatocellular carcinoma treated by conventional transarterial chemoembolization in field-practice:Serum sodium predicts survival显示文摘AIM: To assess the prognostic role of baseline clinical, biochemical and radiological characteristics of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) treated with the first transarterial chemoembolization(TACE) procedure.METHODS: Patients with HCC treated with conventional TACE in a tertiary care setting from 1997 to 2008 were retrospectively reviewed. Predictors of survival were identified using the Cox proportional regression model.RESULTS: Two hundred and seventy patients wereincluded. Median age was 66 years, 81% were male, 58% were HCV-positive, 18% hepatitis B surface antigen-positive, 64% had a Child A status, 40% patients had a largest nodule diameter ≥ 5 cm and 32% had more than 3 tumor nodules. Median overall survival of the whole cohort was 25 mo(95%CI: 21.8-28.2) and the 1-, 2- and 3-year probability of survival was 80%, 50% and 31%, respectively. Non-tumor segmental portal vein thrombosis(HR = 1.76, 95%CI: 1.22-2.54), serum sodium(HR = 1.65, 95%CI: 1.25-2.18), diameter of largest nodule(HR = 1.59, 95%CI: 1.22-2.091), number of nodules(HR = 1.41, 95%CI: 1.06-1.88), alpha-fetoprotein(HR = 1.35, 95%CI: 1.03-1.76) and alkaline phosphatase(HR = 1.33, 95%CI: 1.01-1.74) were independent prognostic factors for overall survival on multivariate analysis.CONCLUSION: The inclusion of serum sodium alongside the already known prognostic factors may allow a better prognostic definition of patients with HCC as candidates for conventional TACE. | Marco Biolato Luca Miele Vittoria Vero Simona Racco Carmine Di Stasi Roberto Iezzi Andrea Zanché Maurizio Pompili Gian Ludovico Rapaccini Giuseppe La Torre Antonio Gasbarrini Antonio Grieco | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,25: | 1 |

| 6 | Reverse time-dependent effect of alphafetoprotein and disease control on survival of patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage C hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM To characterize the survival of cirrhotic patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer(BCLC) stage C hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and to ascertain the factors predicting the achievement of disease control(DC).METHODS The cirrhotic patients with BCLC stage C HCC evaluated by the Hepatocatt multidisciplinary group were subjected to the investigation. Demographic, clinical and tumor features, along with the best tumor response and overall survival were recorded. RESULTS One hundred and ten BCLC stage C patients were included in the analysis; the median overall survival was 13.4 mo(95%CI: 10.6-17.0). Only alphafetoprotein(AFP) serum level > 200 ng/m L and DC could independently predict survival but in a time dependent manner, the former was significantly associated with increased risk of mortality within the first 6 mo of follow-up(HR = 5.073, 95%CI: 2.159-11.916, P = 0.0002), whereas the latter showed a protective effect against death after one year(HR = 0.110, 95%CI: 0.038-0.314, P < 0.0001). Only patients showing microvascular invasion and/or extrahepatic spread recorded lower chances of achieving DC(OR = 0.263, 95%CI: 0.111-0.622, P = 0.002).CONCLUSION The BCLC stage C HCC includes a wide heterogeneous group of cirrhotic patients suitable for potentially curative treatments. The reverse and time dependent effect of AFP serum level and DC on patients' survival confers them as useful predictive tools for treatment management and clinical decisions. | Francesca Romana Ponziani Irene Spinelli Emanuele Rinninella Lucia Cerrito Antonio Saviano Alfonso Wolfango Avolio Michele Basso Luca Miele Laura Riccardi Maria Assunta Zocco Brigida Eleonora Annicchiarico Matteo Garcovich Marco Biolato Giuseppe Marrone Anna Maria De Gaetano Roberto Iezzi Felice Giuliante Fabio Maria Vecchio Salvatore Agnes Giovanni Addolorato Massimo Siciliano Gian Lodovico Rapaccini Antonio Grieco Antonio Gasbarrini Maurizio Pompili | 2017 | World Journal of Hepatology2017,9,36: | 1 |
