Adjuvant FOLFOX Plus Lenvatinib, Liver Transplantation, Machine Learning
Conditions
Brief summary
Objective: To stratify recipients who underwent adjuvant FOLFOX plus lenvatinib (F-L) therapy following liver transplantation (LT) for hepatocellular carcinoma and provide guidance for clinical adjuvant therapy. Methods: Liver recipients in the Shulan (Hangzhou) Hospital from January, 2017 to December, 2021, including 106 in the F-L therapy group and 229 in the non-adjuvant (N-A) therapy group were included in the analysis. A 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to minimize group imbalances. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were compared among recipients. Radiomics features that demonstrated predictive value for recurrence were employed, either independently or in conjunction with prognostic clinical features, to formulate predictive models. The combined model was used to perform further subgroup analysis for recipients in the F-L therapy group.
