APPLE2019 正式宣布 single nodule>5cm 即为 Bclc B
1.韩国学者
BCLC stage B is a better designation for single large hepatocellular carcinoma than BCLC stage A:tumor burden: group 1, a single nodule > 2 and ≤ 5 cm or two or three nodules ≤ 3 cm; group 2, a single nodule > 5 cm; and group 3, two or three nodules > 3 cm or > 3 nodules. Conclusions: Patients in group 2 had a worse prognosis than those in group 1 and a similar prognosis to those in group 3. Our results suggest that BCLC stage B is the best stage designation for SLHCC.

这应该是APPLE2019中将>5cm视为中期的相关文献。

7 厘米作为大型单灶性肝细胞癌预后分层的最佳临界值:结论: 单灶性肝细胞癌>7 cm的预后与BCLC B相似,表明7 cm是大单灶性肝细胞癌预后分层的最佳临界值。

单灶性肝细胞癌:大小有多重要?LEM-HCC:SEM-HCC:BCLC B(31.0 vs 49.0;P < .0001HR 1.63,95% CI 1.29-2.05;P < .0001 ; 31.0 vs. 27.0 p=0.03,HR 0.98, 95% CI 0.77-1.25; P = .89)切除的LEM-HCC患者的OS明显短于SEM-HCC(44.0个月 vs 78.0个月;P = .002),结论: 大于 5 cm 的单灶性肝细胞癌不应作为 BCLC A 进行分期,应使用不同的分期系统或不同的患者亚组(例如 BCLC AB)
综合全球范围肝癌发文量大国或区域(台湾省)的专家结论,不约而同地表示对于 single>X 值,会产生分期更迭,意味着治疗决策相应调整,国人不太深入关注这一点,特别是介入学界,与中国人肝癌平均都超 6-7 有关吧。
