We aimed to evaluate the impact of alternating lenvatinib (LEN) and trans-arterial therapy (AT) in patients with intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after propensity score matching (PSM). This retrospective study enrolled 113 patients with intermediate-stage HCC treated LEN. Patients were classified into the AT (n = 41) or non-AT group (n = 72) according to the post LEN treatment. Overall survival (OS) was calculated using the Kaplan–Meier method and analyzed using a log-rank test after PSM. Factors associated with AT were evaluated using a decision tree analysis. After PSM, there were no significant differences in age, sex, etiology, or albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score/grade between groups. The survival rate of the AT group was significantly higher than that of the non-AT group (median survival time; not reached vs. 16.3 months, P = 0.01). Independent factors associated with OS were AT and ALBI grade 1 in the Cox regression analysis. In the decision tree analysis, age and ALBI were the first and second splitting variables for AT. In this study, we show that AT may improve prognosis in patients with intermediate-stage HCC. Moreover, alternating LEN and trans-arterial therapy may be recommended for patients below 70 years of age with ALBI grade 1.

ObjectiveSpecific outcomes for early-stage ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (OEC) have not been well characterized. In addition, the benefit of any type of postsurgical therapy remains unclear. Our aims were to delineate (1) potential prognostic factors and (2) the impact of adjuvant treatment on survival in such patients.MethodsWomen with FIGO stages I and II OEC referred to one of the centers of the British Columbia Cancer Agency from 1984 to 2008 were included in a retrospectively abstracted computerized database. Irradiation (abdominal-pelvic) in addition to chemotherapy (3 cycles of platinum combination) was to be given for stage IA/B, grade 2/3; stage IC, any grade; and stage II, any grade, except from 1989 to 1994 when irradiation was dropped from the paradigm for all patients. Univariate analysis and a multivariate analysis, using a decision tree analysis, were carried out of disease-free survival (DFS).ResultsOne hundred seventy-two patients were identified. Twelve percent were grade 3; 55%, 85%, and 89% of stages IA/B, IC, and II received postoperative adjuvant treatment. Five-year DFS was 95%, 84%, and 74% for stages IA/B and IC based upon rupture alone, IC other (cytologic positivity and/or surface involvement), and II, respectively. No benefit in DFS was accrued in stage IA/B from adjuvant treatment. Decision tree analysis defined 2 poor prognostic groups: those 55 years or older with stage IC based upon positive washings or surface involvement and any patient with stage II disease; in these, an apparent DFS benefit from irradiation was seen (relative risk (RR), 1.77; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.74–4.24).ConclusionOmission of adjuvant treatment can be considered in most early-stage OECs.

130 Background: The influence of spatial distribution patterns of organ-confined Prostate Cancer (PCa) on the biochemical recurrence (BCR) remains unclear. Therefore, we conducted a study investigating the association between distribution patterns and BCR-free rate in organ-confined PCa. Methods: The anatomical distribution of PCa in 743 men with pT1-pT3N0 and without neoadjuvant therapy was analyzed to determine 20 groups with similar distribution patterns of PCa. Then, 245 men with pT2N0R0 were considered for prognostic evaluation. Spatial distribution patterns of PCa were evaluated using a cMDX-based map model of the prostate. A comparison analysis including 552,049 compare operations was performed to assist the similarity levels of the distribution patterns. K-mean cluster analysis was applied to determine 20 groups with similar distribution patterns. A decision tree-Analysis was performed to divide these groups according to BCR. BCR-free survival was compared. Predictors of progression were investigated using a Cox proportional hazards model. Results: BCR was occurred in 8.2% men with pT2N0R0 PCa. In decision tree analysis, certain PCa distribution patterns revealed no BCR at a median follow-up of 60 mo. (IQR: 42.3-77.0) In univariate and multivariate analysis, the prostate volume, the distribution patterns were an independent predictor for BCR in univariate and multivariate, whereas tumor stage, Gleason score, PSA, relative tumor volume were not. When patients with pT2R0 were stratified according to PCa distribution patterns, the presence of BCR-negative PCa distribution patterns was significantly associated with no risk of BCR by comparison to BCR-associated PCa distribution patterns (P=0.001). Conclusions: PCa distribution patterns provide a prognostic value for BCR. Distribution patterns of PCa can be applied to create more meaningfully predictive pathological T2 sub-divisions than current pT2 prostate cancer sub-stages.
