Research Article: Prognosis of Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma Treated with Transarterial Chemoembolization(MC-hccAI ): Development and Validation of the ALFP Score

Date Published: 2023-08-11

Abstract:
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the predominant form of liver cancer and poses a significant global health burden. It ranks as the seventh most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide., While surgical resection and liver transplantation offer potential curative options. HCC is often diagnosed at advanced stages, such as BCLC stage B or advanced BCLC stage., According to the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging system, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) serves as the primary treatment for patients with intermediate-stage HCC, characterized by asymptomatic, large, or multifocal tumors without macrovascular invasion or extrahepatic metastasis. However, the heterogeneity within the intermediate stage, including variations in liver function and tumor characteristics, introduces challenges in predicting patient outcomes and response to TACE,, Consequently, the median survival time for patients treated with TACE has been reported to range from . to . months.– It is important to note that not all patients with intermediate-stage HCC experience similar benefits from TACE. Therefore, predicting the survival of HCC patients undergoing TACE is crucial for making informed clinical decisions but remains a formidable challenge at present.
