Post-hepatectomy antiviral therapy improves survival — new research July 7, 2011 By Mary Anne Kenny Leave a Comment
Antiviral therapy after hepatectomy improves survival in patients with hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma, research suggests.
Overall, survival was 88 per cent after one year and 71 per cent after five years in antiviral-naïve patients who were treated with post-operative antiviral therapy, compared with 76 per cent after one year and 43 per cent after five years in those not given the treatment.
The disease-free survival rate was 66 per cent after one year and 51 per cent after five years in those in the treatment group, compared with 49 per cent after one year and 34 per cent after five years in the control group, the study of 136 patients found.
Factors that predicted long-term survival were the use of antiviral therapy, early-stage tumour size of no more than 5cm and absence of major vascular invasion.
Antiviral treatment after hepatectomy did not confer any benefit to patients with late-stage tumours or those with major vascular invasion.
There was no significant difference in the rate of tumour recurrence between the two groups, but researchers noted antiviral treatment might delay the time it takes for tumours to reoccur.
Liver function reserve in patients with antiviral treatment was not worsened at the time of tumour recurrence compared with the control group, the researchers wrote in the Archives of Surgery.
“Another potential benefit of antiviral treatment after hepatectomy is preservation of liver function reserve that would improve the chance for further surgical treatment when intrahepatic tumour recurrence has developed,” they noted.
“Antiviral therapy… should be considered after hepatectomy for HBV-related HCC, especially in early-stage tumours,” the researchers wrote.
