PURPOSE: Prognostic value of liver volumetric regeneration (LVR) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who undergo major hepatectomy remains unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of LVR on long-term outcomes in these patients.

METHODS: Data of 399 consecutive patients with HCC who underwent major hepatectomy between 2000 to 2018 were retrieved from a prospectively maintained institutional database. The LVR-index was defined as the relative increase in liver volume from 7 days to 3 months (RLV3m/RLV7d, where RLV3m and RLV7d is the remnant liver volume around 3 months and postoperative 7 days after surgery). The optimal cut-off value was determined using the median value of LVR-index.

RESULTS: A total of 131 patients were eligible in this study. The optimal cut off value of LVR-index was 1.194. The 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year overall survival (OS) rate of patients in the high LVR-index group were significantly better compared to those in the low LVR-index group (95.5%, 84.8%, 75.4% and 49.1% vs. 95.4%, 70.2%, 56.4%, and 19.9%, p = 0.002). Meanwhile, there was no significant difference with regards to time to recurrence between the two groups (p = 0.607). Significance of LVR-index for OS was retained after adjusting for known prognostic factors (p = 0.002).

CONCLUSION: In patients with HCC undergoing major hepatectomy, LVR-index may serve as a prognostic indicator for OS.
