    Summary

    The Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) system for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment guidance showed disagreement with clinical decisions. Expert experience remains crucial for treatment choices, even with BCLC guidelines.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Oncology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • The Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) classification is a validated system for guiding hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment.
    • Clinical decision-making in HCC management requires evaluation against standardized guidelines.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To retrospectively assess the utility of the BCLC classification in guiding HCC treatment decisions.
    • To compare institutional treatment choices with BCLC algorithm recommendations.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 102 HCC patients treated between 1991-2002, comparing their treatment with BCLC guidelines.
    • Analysis of a second cohort of 62 HCC patients (2008-2010) against the BCLC classification.

    Main Results:

    • A discrepancy was observed between the clinicians' treatment decisions and the BCLC system's recommendations.
    • Statistical significance was found for age and performance status (PST) in surgical patients, who were younger and had better PST.
    • The BCLC system did not alter past or present treatment decisions, particularly for surgical indications.

    Conclusions:

    • The BCLC system's recommendations did not align with the study's clinical decisions for HCC treatment.
    • Clinical judgment and institutional experience remain essential components in HCC treatment planning.
    • While BCLC influences decision-making, it does not replace the need for expert clinical center input.
