Abstract:
Plain language summary Comparison of the outcomes of patients with HCC with or without donafenib after radical resection to better understand the efficacy and safety of postoperative adjuvant donafenib Why was this study done? Donafenib is the only new-generation targeted drug developed in the past 14 years that has demonstrated superior efficacy and increased safety in the first-line treatment of HCC. We aimed to explore whether postoperative adjuvant donafenib can improve the prognosis of patients with HCC at high-risk of recurrence. What did the researchers do? Medical data of patients with HCC at high-risk of recurrence who underwent radical resection at two medical centers between April 2021 and October 2022 were collected to compare long-term outcomes of patients treated with and without donafenib and explore the safety of adjuvant donafenib treatment. What did the researchers find? A total of 196 patients with HCC at high-risk of recurrence, including 49 who received adjuvant donafenib treatment and 147 who did not, were analyzed. At a median follow-up of 21.8 months, it was observed that adjuvant donafenib treatment effectively reduced early recurrence among patients with HCC at high-risk of recurrence, while exhibiting favorable safety and compliance profiles. What do the findings mean? The study provides real-world clinical empirical data on adjuvant donafenib treatment for patients with HCC at high-risk of recurrence, and these results may provide new directions for adjuvant treatment of HCC.
