Purpose: The optimal therapeutic strategy of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) is debated. This study aimed to compare the survival outcomes of liver resection (LR) versus targeted therapy plus programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors in HCC patients with PVTT.
Patients and Methods: The data of 53 patients with HCC and type I–II PVTT was retrospectively assessed. Among them, 23 underwent LR, and 30 received targeted therapy plus PD-1 inhibitors (TT + PD-1). The baseline characteristics, overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of the two groups were compared. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression analysis were performed to identify independent prognostic factors of OS and PFS.
Results: There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the LR and TT + PD-1 groups. The LR group showed a significantly superior median OS (27.3 vs 15.3 months; P < 0.001) and PFS (13.8 vs 7.5 months; P = 0.008) compared to the TT + PD-1 group. Multivariable Cox regression analysis identified LR was independently associated with a better OS and PFS.
Conclusion: LR may represent an effective therapeutic option for HCC patients with type I–II PVTT.
