LITERATURE REVIEW
HCC: COMMON AND INCREASING
• 694,000 deaths from liver cancer yearly worldwide[1]
• Age-adjusted US incidence has increased 2-fold from 1985-1998[2]
– Expected to continue to increase until 2015-2020[3]
• American Cancer Society statistics for liver cancer in 2010[4]
– Estimated new cases: 24,120– Estimated deaths: 18,910– 5th leading cause of cancer deaths in males

HCC: RISK FACTORSThe most important risk factor is cirrhosis
from any cause:1. Hepatitis B (integrates in DNA)2. Hepatitis C3. Alcohol4. Aflatoxin5. Other
HCC: Metastases• Rest of the liver• Portal vein• Lymph nodes• Lung• Bone• Brain

Natural History of Nonsurgical HCC
Study Design: Control Arm of 2 RCTs
• 102 untreated cirrhotic patients with unresectable HCC – Managed with symptomatic treatment
• Median survival of 17 months (range: 1-60 months)– 1-yr survival was 54%– 2-yr survival was 40%– 3-yr survival was 28%

COMPARISON OF HCC STAGING SYSTEMS
• BCLC system uses key independent predictors of survival– Performance score, portal vein thrombosis,
tumor diameter
• Compared with other staging systems in cohort study– BCLC had best stratification of survival across
all stages– BCLC was only system to have independent
predictive value on survival
• BCLC is the only staging system that stratifies patients into treatment groupsMarrero JA, et al. Hepatology. 2005;41:707-716.
LIVER TRANSPLANTATION FOR HCC:MILAN CRITERIA (STAGE 1 AND 2)
• 5-yr survival with transplantation: ~ 70%• 5-yr recurrent rates: < 15%
+Absence of macroscopic vascular invasion,
absence of extrahepatic spread
Single tumor, not > 5 cm
Up to 3tumors, none>3Cm

Candidates for RFA/PEI
• Includes individuals who are not candidates for surgery
• Radiofrequency ablation generally preferred over percutaneous ethanol injection– Necrotic effect more predictable across
tumor sizes– Meta-analyses suggest survival benefit
with radiofrequency ablation vs percutaneous ethanol injection

Contraindications to TACE
• Extrahepatic tumor spread• Lack of portal blood flow
– Portal vein thrombosis, portosystemic anastomoses or hepatofugal flow
• Advanced liver disease (Child-Pugh Class B or C)
• Clinical symptoms of end-stage cancer

Multidisciplinary HCC Management
• HCC is the intersection of 2 diseases– Liver disease and cancer
• Skilled pathologists needed for diagnosis• Specialists required to deliver treatment
options– Surgeons for resection or transplantation– Radiologists for ablation and
chemoembolization
• Hepatologists and oncologists follow treatment strategy and labs
• Midlevel providers bring support, particularly for oral therapy
Conclusions
• HCC occurs in cirrhotic patients and complicates diagnosis and treatment
• The Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer staging system accounts for key prognostic factors: hepatic function, performance score, and tumor burden
• Chemoembolization is the best option in nonresectable patients without vascular involvement
• Sorafenib is the best option for advanced tumors
• Novel therapies are needed
