Résumé

BACKGROUND: HCC are known to have satellite nodules and microvascular invasions requiring sufficient margins. An alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level >100 ng/mL is associated with worse pathological features in HCC. In practice, large resection margins, particularly >1~cm, are infrequently retrieved on the specimens. METHODS: 397 patients from 5 centres were included from 2012 to 2017. The primary endpoint was time-to-recurrence in relation to AFP level (> or <100 ng/ml) as well as surgical margins (> or <1 cm). The secondary endpoint was overall survival (OS). RESULTS: The median follow-up was 25 months. In Low AFP group, median time to recurrence (TTR) for patients with margins <1 cm was 36 months and for patients with margins ≥q1 cm was 34 months (p = 0.756), and overall survival (OS) was not significantly different according to margins (p = 0.079). In High-AFP group, patients with margins <1 cm had a higher recurrence rate than patients with margins ≥q1 cm (p = 0.016): median TTR for patients with margins <1 cm was 8 months whereas it was not reached for patients with margins ≥q1 cm. Patients with margins <1 cm had a significantly worse OS compared to the patients with margins ≥q1 cm (p = 0.043). CONCLUSION: Preoperative AFP level may help determine margins to effectively treat high AFP tumours. For low-AFP tumours, margins didn't have an impact on TTR or OS.
