Abstract 368. • Trevisani et al[1] • Survival similar with 6-month vs 12-month surveillance • Santagostino et al[2] • Rate of detection of single nodules (vs multinodular HCC) similar with 6-month vs 12-month surveillance • Kim et al[3] • Survival improved with 6-month vs 12-month surveillance

  34. AASLD and NCCN Surveillance Guidelines AASLD Guidelines Surveillance recommended in at-risk groups Specific hepatitis B carriers Nonhepatitis B cirrhosis US preferred surveillance tool AFP alone should not be used unless US unavailable Patients should be screened at - 6 to 12-month intervals NCCN Guidelines US and AFP, AP, and albumin for surveillance in high-risk patients Every 3-6 months Continue screening every 3 months in those with high AFP but no evidence on imaging NCCN, National Comprehensive Cancer

  38. HCC Diagnosis Guidelines for Diagnosis of HCC Ultrasound findings Typical features of HCC = vascular nodule on arterial phase with washout in delayed phases Bruix J, et al, Hepatology 2005

  39. HCC Diagnosis Dual Blood Supply of Liver • The vascular supply of HCC arises from the hepatic artery through neovascularization. • Normal hepatocytes receive 80% of blood flow from portal vein • Imaging of the liver has to be performed in a triple phase manner to account for the early arterial phase followed by the portal venous phase and the delayed phases Yu JS, et al, Am J Roentgenol 1999

  44. HCC Treatment Key Concepts in the Management of Hepatocellular Cancer Key Concepts in the Management of Hepatocellular Cancer • Potentially Curative • Liver transplantation (75% 5-year survival) • Surgical resection • Palliative • Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) • Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) • Percutaneous ethanol or acetic acid ablation • Cryoablation • Systemic Chemotherapy

  45. HCC Treatment Key Concepts in the Management of Hepatocellular Cancer Key Concepts in the Management of Hepatocellular Cancer • Liver transplantation achieves the best outcome in HCC patients with decompensated cirrhosis who meet criteria • Surgical resection is most effective for non-cirrhotic patients or those with cirrhosis and preserved liver function and can be followed by salvage OLT • Patients with small tumors are best stratified for resection or OLT by the presence of clinically-significant portal hypertension and/or increased serum bilirubin • Local ablative methods are an option for small solitary nodules and those who are not surgical candidates • Transarterial chemoembolization improves survival in intermediate-advanced HCC

  46. HCC Treatment Management of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Requires a Multidisciplinary Approach Hepatobiliary Surgery Hepatology Oncology Pathology Radiology Liver Transplant Program

  47. Liver Transplantation for HCC:Milan Criteria (Stage 1 and 2) Single tumor, not > 5 cm Up to 3 tumors, none > 3 cm + Absence of macroscopic vascular invasion, absence of extrahepatic spread Mazzaferro V, et al. N Engl J Med. 1996;334:693-699.
