We compared the recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) between patients who received PA-TACE and those who did not, utilizing propensity score matching (PSM) to balance the groups.Results: Before and after PSM, both RFS and OS were significantly greater in PA-TACE group compared to the non-TACE group. Multivariable analysis identified PA-TACE as a significantly favorable factor of RFS and OS. In subgroups analyses, PA-TACE significantly improved RFS and OS in patients with CK19+ HCC under the following conditions: alpha-fetoprotein ≥ 400 ng/mL, cirrhosis, tumor size ≥ 5 cm, multiple tumors, major resection, Edmondson-Steiner stage III–IV, macrovascular invasion and microvascular invasion. Similar results were obtained in patients with higher tumor stages. Further recurrence model analyses revealed that PA-TACE significantly reduced early recurrence in patients with high-risk of postoperative recurrence, but had little effect on late recurrence.Conclusion: Among CK19+ HCC patients with higher recurrence of postoperative risk, PA-TACE could greatly improve RFS and OS.Keywords: hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatectomy, cytokeratin 19, postoperative adjuvant transarterial chemoembolization, recurrence-free survival, overall survival
