Survival and safety outcomes of hepatectomy versus ablation in hepatocellular carcinoma within Milan criteria and clinically significant portal hypertension: a systematic review and meta-analysis. | Synapse
Survival and safety outcomes of hepatectomy versus ablation in hepatocellular carcinoma within Milan criteria and clinically significant portal hypertension: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Key Points
This study evaluates the long-term survival and recurrence outcomes between hepatectomy and ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis
Included studies on hepatectomy and ablation in patients meeting Milan criteria
Analyzed outcomes in cases with clinically significant portal hypertension
Long-term survival rates are comparable between hepatectomy and ablation
Hepatectomy demonstrates superior recurrence control, especially in cases related to HBV.
Abstract
This study suggests that the long-term survival rates of hepatectomy and ablation are comparable, but hepatectomy shows better recurrence control, especially in HBV-related cases.
