Prognosis of Patients With Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma Versus Conventional Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

CONCLUSION: Patients with FL-HCC treated with hepatic resection had significantly higher 5-year survival rates than did those with NFL-HCC. However, survival was similar for both FL-HCC and conventional HCC in noncirrhotic patients. There seems to be no difference in survival outcomes for FL- and NFL-HCC when transplantation is used as the therapeutic option. PMID: 24799971 [PubMed]
