Brief Title: CT-based HVPG Assessment for Predicting the Prognosis of HCC With TACE (CHANCE-CHESS 2302)
Official Title: Non-invasive CT-based Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient Assessment for Predicting the Prognosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma With Transarterial Chemoembolization (CHANCE-CHESS 2302): A Multicenter Retrospective Study
Study ID: NCT05704192
Brief Summary: This study aims to evaluate the impact of non-invasive CT-based Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient (HVPG) assessment on prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients treated with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE).
Detailed Description: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is recommended as standard therapy for intermediate-stage HCC according to the current guidelines and is also the most widely used in advanced HCC in real-world practice. Portal hypertension increases the risk of hepatic decompensation, which impairs survival in patients with HCC. Clinically significant portal hypertension is defined as \>10 mmHg increase in the hepatic vein pressure gradient (HVPG), and the current gold standard for its assessment is direct measurement, through a transjugular approach. However, due to its invasive character and high effort, HVPG measurement is not a standard tool in the initial diagnostic evaluation of patients with HCC. This study aims to evaluate the impact of non-invasive CT-based Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient (HVPG) assessment on prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients treated with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE).
