Abstract:

Objective

To investigate whether there was a difference in gender-based outcomes among patients with HCC who underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with locoregional ablation therapy.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on 806 patients with HCC who were treated with TACE combined with local ablation in Beijing You'an Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2016. Standard propensity score matching was performed to create two highly comparable groups. The cumulative recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method, and the Cox proportion hazard model was conducted to screen for independent predictive factors for indicating recurrence and long-term prognosis of HCC patients.

Results

Women had better 1, 3, and 5-year RFS rates (79.0%, 54.6%, 49.6% vs 68.4%, 40.4%, 33.4%, P < 0.001), which was consistent with the consequences of data processed by PSM method. There were different risk factor spectrum for recurrence between men and women. Age, tumor number, tumor size, neutrophils, globulin, GGT, together with alpha fetoprotein (AFP) could influence recurrence for men, however for women, only age and globulin were independent predictors.

Conclusions

Women have a better prognosis than men. Prognosis difference with respect to gender may indicate the significance of gender-based stratification in preoperative evaluation and prognostic management of HCC patients.
