Abstract

About 60% of Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients are detected in the intermediate stage according to Barcelona, and the main treatment in this stage is transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). However, not all patients achieve the same results from TACE treatment. Therefore, the ABCR score was born to assist with predicting re-treatment of HCC with TACE method. We conducted this study to evaluate the value of the ABCR scoring system in predicting the additional survival time in patients with intermediate stage HCC treated with TACE method. 85 patients recruited for this study were treated at Hanoi Medical University hospital from June 2021 to January 2024. The average age of our study group was 59.7 ± 10.9 years old. Male accounted for 85.9%. 72.9% of patients have hepatitis B. The average survival time after TACE was 33.5 months. The value for predicting mortality prognosis of the ABCR score has an area under the curve of 0.67. The low-risk ABCR classification group had a median survival time of 36,6 months with a 95% CI of 33.6 - 39.6, higher than the intermediate-risk ABCR classification group and high-risk ACBR classification group (33.4 months and 14.7 months) with p = 0.07.
