Introduction. This study evaluated long-term outcomes of salvage surgery as additional therapy following downstaging of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with initially unresectable HCC.Methods. A retrospective analysis was performed of 831 consecutive patients with unresectable HCC who underwent TACE as initial treatment between June 2004 and December 2014. Of these, 82 patients with downstaged resectable HCC were enrolled in this study: 43 received salvage surgery (S group) and the remaining 39, who refused salvage resection, were the control group (T group). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS).Results. The median OS in the S and T groups was 49 and 31 months, respectively (p =.027).The 2-, 4-, and 5-year survival rates were 93%, 47%, and 26% in the S group and 74%, 18%, and 10% in the T group, respectively (p =.019).
