Core Tip |
According to the current treatment guidelines, patients with liver-confined hepatocellular carcinoma and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score of 1 alone should be classified as advanced stage and treated with systemic therapy. However, transarterial chemoembolization is commonly used for this group of patients in clinical practice. The current study retrospectively included 792 eligible patients from 24 Chinese tertiary hospitals and found transarterial chemoembolization was effective for hepatocellular carcinoma patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score of 1 alone, and the “Six-and-twelve Criteria”, defined as the algebraic sum of tumor size (cm) and tumor number, might help the risk stratification and survival prediction. |
