Key clinical point: HCC patients with hepatitis B/C coinfection had worse long-term outcomes after liver resection than patients with hepatitis B infection only.
Major finding: In the propensity score matched cohort, 3-year and 5-year recurrence-free survival rates were significantly worse in HCC patients with hepatitis B/C coinfection (48.3% and 38.9%) than in those with hepatitis B only (61.8% and 49.2%, P = 0.037).
Study details: The data come from a multicenter, observational study of 2,467 adults with HCC who underwent curative-intent liver resection. Of these, 93 also had concurrent hepatitis B/C coinfection and 2,374 had hepatitis B. Propensity score matching paired patients with hepatitis B and hepatitis B/C co-infection.
Disclosures: The study received no outside funding. The researchers had no financial conflicts to disclose.
