and is the fifth most common cancer in Western countries&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> HCC is a rapidly evolving tumor&#44; with difficult management and with a survival &#60; 15&#37; at 5 years despite new diagnostic technologies and new therapies have led to an improvement in patient outcomes&#46; Several factors contribute to poor prognosis&#58; the presence of a coexisting liver cirrhosis which limits responsiveness to systemic chemotherapy&#44; the frequent association with comorbidities&#44; the often delay of diagnosis&#46; In this respect&#44; to reduce diagnosis delay&#44; international scientific societies such as the European Association for the Study of the Liver &#40;EASL&#41;&#44; the Japan Society of Hepa-tology &#40;JSH&#41; and the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases &#40;AASLD&#41; proposed screening schedules for patients at risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma&#46;</p><p id="p0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The study of Brahmania M&#44; <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">et al</span>&#46; focuses attention on a particular aspect not reported in the literature&#58; the relationship between the time between diagnosis and therapy and its impact on survival&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> The authors analyze this issue by using Radio Frequency Ablation &#40;RFA&#41; therapy&#44; which actually represents one of the most widespread ablative methods in the world&#44; having replaced the alcoholization technique&#44; in most liver tumors&#46; Its indication is for T1 and T2 tumors where resection may be used as well&#44; but the selection of treatment modality depends on the underlying liver function&#44; the degree of portal hypertension&#44; the tumor site more than on the oncologic stage of the tumor&#46; Therefore&#44; while therapeutic options are limited for patients who presents with an advanced liver disease and&#47;or advanced tumor stages&#44; multiple options exist for those presenting with well-compensated cirrhosis and smaller&#44; potentially resectable tumors&#46; Several studies have shown that RFA for early stage HCC has similar survival rates to surgical management at 3 and 5 years&#44; around 90&#37; and 70&#37;&#44; respectively&#46; Anyway&#44; a Cochrane systematic review performed by Weis et al&#46; on the treatment for early-stage HCC in patients with Child&#39;s A or B class cirrhosis concluded that the total number of included patients was too low to reach a firm conclusion&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a></p><p id="p0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The impact of wait times on survival for patients with cancer undergoing therapy is an ongoing issue in Canada&#39;s publically funded healthcare system&#44; where the study of Brahmania et al&#46; was conducted&#46; The effects of increased waiting time can generally be associated with worse clinical outcomes&#44; negative impact on survival and a poorer quality of life&#46; This depends on a variety of factors especially the invasiveness of the neoplasia&#44; but also the extension of the disease at diagnosis&#46; Tumors that are diagnosed with delay&#44; because they may have late warning signs&#44; they benefit less of a shorter waiting time between diagnosis and therapy&#46; Studies on colon&#44; pancreas&#44; uterine cervix&#44; stomach and lung cancer have reported an unclear relationship between waiting time and survival&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4-9</span></a> Others&#44; on the other hand&#44; melanoma&#44; rectal&#44; breast and bladder cancer have reported a negative effect of treatment delay on survival&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4&#44;10-13</span></a></p><p id="p0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">HCC is certainly a symptomatic and biologically aggressive neoplasm&#44; it is therefore understandable why rapidity of treatment is essential&#46; However&#44; despite these assumptions the authors point that in Ontario it is not always possible to intervene early and to maintain the 28-waiting days standard for other malignancies&#46;</p><p id="p0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors in their study propose to evaluate whether wait times for RFA were associated with residual tumor&#44; tumor recurrence&#44; need for liver transplantation&#44; or death&#46;</p><p id="p0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Although the study of Brahmania et al is retrospective&#44; results are interesting because the problem of diagnostic delay in HCC is extremely real&#44; overall in areas with high incidence of HBV and HCV related chronic liver disease&#46; From the retrospective analysis of 219 patients with HCC in BCLC 0-1 stage&#44; with a cancer size between 2&#46;1 and 4 cm&#44; sufficient liver function &#40;median of MELD 8&#46;7&#44; Child-Pugh score of &#60; 10&#41;&#44; with different etiologies &#40;predominantly HCV&#41; they found that the median time from HCC diagnosis to RFA treatment was 96 days&#44; and further&#44; that each 30-day incremental in wait time was associated with an increased risk of residual tumor as well as death&#46; Thus&#44; as has been recently reported by Johnson P et al in a large study on HCC&#44; the variation in survival is largely accounted for stage at diagnosis&#44; which in turn is related to the intensity of surveillance programs and the consequent variation in therapeutic options&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0075"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> In addition&#44; the data on tumor residue are interesting&#44; and coincide with the recent results of Radunz S&#44; <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">et al&#46;</span> which has recently demonstrated&#44; with histopathological analysis on HCC samples from livers transplanted for HCC following Yttrium-90 radio-em-bolization bridging treatment&#44; as the complete necrosis of explanted specimens has a trend towards a lower risk of tumor recurrence&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">15</span></a></p><p id="p0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Probably the long wait time between diagnosis and therapy of this study&#44; as the same authors suggest&#44; is due to the fact that it is conducted in a quaternary center which is referral for a large number of patients and where the multi-disciplinary approach to therapeutic choices creates the &#8220;snowball&#8221; effect responsible for delayed treatment&#46;</p><p id="p0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Treating early HCC depends&#44; not only on a multidisci-plinary approach &#40;hepatologist&#44; oncologist&#44; interventional radiologist&#41; but also on the resources available at the hospital&#46; We report the same experience of Brahmania&#44; <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">et al&#46;</span>&#44; which despite physicians try to organize the RFA treatment of HCC as soon as possible&#44; the possibility of a delay due to delayed presentation of the case to the multidisci-plinary cancer conference&#44; scheduling consultation with radiologist&#44; and finally the availability of the appropriate instrumentation is the actual rule&#46;</p><p id="p0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Another key point that should be addressed is the necessity of finding predictors &#40;clinical and&#47;or biological&#41; of the behavior&#44; in terms of aggressiveness&#44; of the cancer in the single patient&#46; From a clinical point of view&#44; it has been recently described an index of liver dysfunction in HCC&#44; based solely on albumin and bilirubin levels&#44; called ALBI grade&#44; that has been validated as a novel biomarker of liver functional reserve and successfully used as predictor of patient overall survival after surgical resection&#44; tran-sarterial chemoembolization and sorafenib&#46; Prospective studies&#44; however&#44; are needed in subjects with the indication to RFA treatment&#46;</p><p id="p0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Serum markers have also been studied&#44; in particular Alpha-fetoprotein &#40;AFP&#41;&#44; Lens culinaris agglutinin-reactive fraction of alpha-fetoprotein &#40;AFP-L3&#41; and des-c-carboxy prothrombin &#40;DCP&#41; are well-known markers for HCC&#46;</p><p id="p0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Recently&#44; the status of these three positive tumor markers was considered as a prognostic factor for HCC patients treated with hepatic resection &#40;HR&#41; or RFA&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0085"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></a> In fact when adding to traditional histological prognostic factors&#44; like microvascular invasion and tumor differentiation&#44; the positive expression of the three HCC markers&#44; survival rates of patients who underwent HR and RFA when treating single nodular HCC &#60; 5 cm&#44; were differently influenced&#46;</p><p id="p0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In summary&#44; in the era of the new antiviral treatments which are changing the etiological scenario of chronic liver diseases&#44; attention should be placed on advanced and personalized surveillance programs for HCC to finally improve quality of care deserved to patients&#46; However&#44; wait time references for curative intent treatment of early HCCs have not yet been developed&#46; In this study the authors report an initial attainable measure of a wait time target not to be greater than 60 days as death rates increased from 6&#46;7&#37; to 28&#46;1&#37; after this period&#46; Anyway&#44; further investigations are warranted to confirm these data on prospective case studies&#46;</p></span>"
