description | BACKGROUND: Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FL-HCC) is a rare disease and current efforts are focused on the prognosis and on the development of efficient and specific treatments. This study aimed to review the latest evidence regarding FL-HCC treatment and prognosis. METHODS: A systematic review of the literature over the past 10 years regarding FL-HCC, and meta-analysis of 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival (OS) comparing FL-HCC and conventional HCC were performed. RESULTS: Overall, 1567 articles were screened, of them 21 were selected for the systematic review, and 6 for meta-analysis. Twenty-one studies included a total of 2168 patients with FL-HCC, with a median age ranging from 11 to 56 years. The majority of patients underwent surgical resection or liver transplantation. After a median follow-up ranging from 24 to 58 months, 1-year OS was 67–100% and 5-year OS was 28–65%. A total of 743 patients with FL-HCC and 163,472 with conventional HCC were included in the meta-analysis. There was a significantly improved 1-, 3-, and 5-years OS in the FL-HCC group compared to the conventional HCC group, although high heterogeneity was found. When excluding population-based studies, and including 96 FL-HCC and 221 conventional HCC patients, the heterogeneity was low, and the meta-analysis showed a significantly longer 1-year OS in patients with FL-HCC than conventional HCC; however, there were no differences at 3- and 5-years OS. CONCLUSIONS: Surgical resection for FL-HCC is currently the only curative treatment available. FL-HCC is plagued by high-recurrence rates and poor long-term outcomes which may be related to the absence of specific treatment for advanced and recurrent disease. |
