Multiple studies have shown RFA for early stage HCC has similar survival to surgical management at 3 and 5 years around 90% and 70%, respectively.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0045">8-11</a> However, effectiveness and success may depend on how quickly treatment is administered. Delays in access to RFA after an early stage HCC has been diagnosed may increase the risk of tumor progression beyond a stage that is curable by RFA, may lead to more invasive and expensive treatment modalities such as liver transplant or hepatectomy, and lastly, could potentially lead to death.The University Health Network (UHN) and affiliated hospitals in Toronto, Ontario is the quaternary Hepatology referral center in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) with a population of more than 6 million individuals. The majority of all RFA procedures in the GTA are performed at UHN to treat HCC, however, for several reasons, the time from diagnosis of early HCC to referral and administration of RFA is often longer than expected in many cases.Currently, Cancer Care Ontario (CCO) have set systemic wait time targets of 28 days from diagnosis to treatment of common malignancies.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0060">11</a> However, HCC has not been included in this target wait time despite being a malignancy with the fastest growing incidence.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065">12</a> In addition, no recommendations or target wait times currently exist in the literature for the management of HCC with RFA. The derivation of optimal time points for prevention of adverse events mentioned could lead to implementation of wait time guidelines, identification of patients requiring triage, and prediction of tumor growth characteristics. Thus, the aim of this study was to measure the diagnosis to treatment lag and its impact on patient outcomes, namely residual and recurrent HCC post-treatment, the need for liver transplant, and death. In doing so, we aimed to determine the barriers to RFA access and the threshold wait-time that would need to be achieved in order to minimize adverse patient outcomes.Material and MethodsStudy design, inclusion and exclusion criteriaA retrospective cohort study was performed of patients diagnosed with HCC and referred to our HCC Tumor Board for review between July 1, 2010 and December 31, 2013. Multidisciplinary HCC Tumor Board rounds convene weekly and are attended by Hepatologists, Hepatobiliary Surgeons, Diagnostic and Interventional Radiologists, Medical and Radiation Oncologists. The diagnosis and management of HCC is based on the respective AASLD guidelines.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020">3</a> We screened the entire database of patients discussed at HCC Tumor Board rounds during the study period. Patients with a newly diagnosed HCC and who were eligible to only receive RFA in a curative intent form the basis of this analysis. Patients were excluded if there were contraindications to RFA such as hepatic decompensation with a Child-Pugh Turcotte score of > 10 (CTP C). Additional exclusion criteria included the following: tumor size greater than 4 cm, more than three HCC lesions, previous HCC, extra-hepatic spread, listed for or previous liver transplant, or RFA performed in non-curative intent (e.g. for down staging/bridging to liver transplant).The study was conducted in accordance with the guidelines of the Declaration of Helsinki and the principles of Good Clinical Practice and is approved by the ethical review board of UHN, Toronto, Canada.Data acquisition, definitions, and endpointsTwo investigators extracted demographic and clinical data from the HCC database. Diagnosis of HCC occurred when the Radiologist confirmed HCC by ultrasound (US), contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), computed tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Patient death due to HCC was the primary outcome. Residual or recurrent tumor and need for liver transplantation were secondary outcomes. Residual tumor was defined as HCC seen on the first cross sectional contrast enhanced imaging after RFA, which per our institution's protocol, is performed three months post RFA. Tumor recurrence was defined as reappearance of a visible HCC on cross sectional imaging (performed as per protocol every 3 months) in a patient who had at least one negative imaging study after RFA.Statistical analysisContinuous variables were expressed as median values with interquartile ranges (IQR) and categorical variables were expressed as frequencies (percentages). Continuous variables were compared between groups using the Wil-coxon rank-sum test, and categorical variables were compared using Pearson's χ2 test. Univariate and multivariate analysis of baseline risk factors was performed using Cox proportional hazards regression with death due to HCC as the primary outcome; death due to other causes was considered a competing risk in the analysis. The starting time point, or baseline, for the analysis was defined as the date a patient received RFA treatment. Patients were followed until death or date of the last outpatient visit. In the multi-variate analysis, wait time was a continuous covariate and the following confounders were adjusted for in the model: sex, age at diagnosis, MELD score, and Barcelona stage. As the event count was not high we did not include tumor size (however, in a separate univariate analysis tumor size was not associated with HCC death - data not shown). For the secondary outcomes, we adjusted for size of tumor at baseline, age at diagnosis, sex, MELD, and Barcelona stage, and all-cause death was considered to be a competing risk. In the case of transplant, where the event count was not high, we adjusted for age at diagnosis and Barcelona stage. All statistical tests were two-sided and evaluated at the 0.05 level of significance. Data was analyzed in the R statistical software (Version 3.2.2).RESULTSPatient characteristicsThree hundred and twenty two patients were eligible for RFA in curative intent during the study period as identified by screening our HCC database. Of these, a total of 103 patients (32%) were excluded for the following reasons: previous HCC (n = 77), contraindications that precluded RFA (n = 20; not related to wait time), and missing data (n = 6). Thus, a total of 219 patients were included in the study. Patient demographic, clinical and HCC characteristics are detailed in <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#t0010">table 1</a>. The majority of the patients were males (72.6%) with a median age of 62.7 years (IQR 55.6-71); the median tumour size at diagnosis was 21.5 mm (IQR: 17-26) with a maximum size of 40 mm; 125 (57.1%) patients had Barcelona stage 0 and 94 (42.9%) had Barcelona stage A; the median MELD score at diagnosis was 8.7 (IQR 7.2-11.4); 96 (43.8%) patients had chronic hepatitis C, 65 (29.7%) had chronic hepatitis B, while 40 (18.3%) had NASH/Alcohol related cirrhosis, and 18 (8.2%) had cirrhosis related to other disease entities (Primary Biliary Cholangitis, etc.).<elsevierMultimedia ident="t0010"></elsevierMultimedia>Time from diagnosis to RFAThe median wait time from diagnosis to presentation to tumor board rounds was 21 days (IQR 11-49), from tumour board to Interventional radiology (IR) consultation was 30 days (IQR 21-44), and from IR consultation to RFA was 35 days (IQR 25-48), respectively. Overall, the median wait time from diagnosis to RFA was 96 days (IQR 75-139) (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#t0015">Table 2</a>).<elsevierMultimedia ident="t0015"></elsevierMultimedia>Primary outcomeForty-five (20.5%) patients died during a median follow-up of 799 days (IQR 542-1,182), with 41 (91.1%) deaths being attributed to liver related mortality. The 4 non-liver related deaths were due to respiratory failure, intracranial hemorrhage, primary spinal tumor not present prior to RFA, and esophageal adenocarcinoma not detected prior to RFA. Of the 41 liver related deaths, 30 (73.2%) were classified as deaths due to HCC and 11 (26.8%) were classified as deaths due to liver decompensation. The analysis was based on the 30 deaths due to HCC. In univariate Cox regression analysis, increased wait time was associated with an increased risk of death due to HCC (HR = 1.22, per 30 days; 95% CI 1.10-1.36; p ≤ 0.001) (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#t0020">Table 3</a>). In multivariate analysis, increased wait time was also associated with an increased risk of death (HR = 1.23, per 30 days; 95% CI 1.11-1.36; p ≤ 0.001) (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#t0020">Table 3</a>). There were no significant baseline differences between those experiencing death and those who did not aside from ALP values (103 IU/mL in no death vs. 121.5 IU/mL in HCC death vs. 120 IU/mL in other death; p = 0.010) and Barcelona stage A (40.2% in no death vs. 43.3% in HCC death and 73.3% in other death; p = 0.047) (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#t0010">Table 1</a>). <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#f0010">Figure 1</a> shows worse HCC mortality for those waiting longer for RFA (Wait-time groups were defined according to median wait-time). Appendix 1 shows death rates by 30-day wait-time increments.<elsevierMultimedia ident="t0020"></elsevierMultimedia><elsevierMultimedia ident="f0010"></elsevierMultimedia>Secondary outcomesTwenty-nine (13.2%) patients required a liver transplant after failure of RFA for curative intent. No patient undergoing liver transplant had tumor recurrence at the end of the study period. Fifty-eight (26.5%) patients had residual tumor and after excluding these 58 patients from the cohort of 219, 66 patients (41%) had tumor recurrence. In univariate Cox regression analysis, increased wait times were not associated with need for liver transplant (HR = 1.10, per 30 days; 95% CI 0.92-1.30; p = 0.290) or tumor recurrence (HR = 1.00; 95% CI 0.91-1.10; p = 0.980) but was associated with residual tumor (HR = 1.09; 95% CI 1.00-1.18; p = 0.042). In multivariate Cox regression analysis, wait time was associated with increased risk of residual tumor (HR = 1.09; 95% CI 1.01-1.19; p = 0.033), while it did not show any association with the other secondary outcomes at the 5% level of statistical significance (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#t0020">Table 3</a>).DiscussionOur study shows patients with newly diagnosed early HCC and who were candidates for curative intent RFA waited a median of 96 days from diagnosis to treatment. This vastly exceeds the 28-day wait time stipulated by Cancer Care Ontario for other malignancies. Additionally, incremental 30-day wait time for treatment was associated with a 9% increased risk of residual tumor and a 23% increased risk of death. We have previously shown a 2.5 fold increase in the proportion of new early stage (BCLC 0) HCC's detected at our center, and along with the continual annual rise in the incidence of HCC, this means the expected number of HCC cases requiring RFA outpaces the allocation of the resources to this treatment modality in the GTA.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0065">12,13</a> Addressing these excessive wait times is urgently needed in the province of Ontario to mitigate poor patient outcomes related to HCC.Understanding the important contributors to delayed access to HCC is paramount before instituting solutions. In our study, we identified three essential care points in the management of a patient with HCC treated with RFA at our institution, however, each care point also contributes to wait time delays (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#t0015">Table 2</a>). Delays in presentation to multidisciplinary cancer conference rounds, scheduling consultations with Interventional radiologists and the resource constraints in performing RFA all lead to a “snowball” effect contributing to the current level of wait times. In addition, although physicians are the cornerstone of services provided they are only one aspect of a patient's care in a complex medical system involving many other personnel and bureaucracies which reflect the larger social and economic features of the hospital environment that also play an important determinant of variability in HCC wait times (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#f0015">Figure 2</a>).<elsevierMultimedia ident="f0015"></elsevierMultimedia>Wait time references for curative intent treatment of early HCCs have not been developed locally or internationally. In our study we report an initial attainable measure of a wait time target not to be greater than 60 days as death rates increased from 6.7% to 28.1% after this period (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#f0020">Figure 3</a>). Optimally, a 30-day wait time target would be achieved thereafter as no deaths were seen in this time period. To achieve improvements in performance, hospitals may need to focus on the key care points described above and also explore other factors such as triage practices, patient flow, physical environment, and (under) staffing. As these measures may be correlated with patient outcomes, improving performance in wait time could have a large impact on quality of care for all patients seen with curable HCC. However, a focus on shortening wait times should be balanced against unintended consequence such as increasing volume of procedures in a system not equipped or staffed for the burden which may lead to physicians prioritizing efficiency over accuracy, thoroughness and perhaps safety.<elsevierMultimedia ident="f0020"></elsevierMultimedia>Our analysis has revealed three areas for actionable interventions that we believe could improve HCC wait times and patient outcomes. First, the development of criteria allowing certain cases to be referred directly for RFA treatment with no review or a less comprehensive/accelerated review at multidisciplinary cancer conference rounds. This change would eliminate the backlog created by the review of low-priority cases, and create time for complicated cases to be discussed in an adequate and timely manner. Second, development of a triaging system of patients referred for RFA would also ensure that higher risk of poor outcomes receive treatment earlier. Specifying consensus criteria using AFP, tumor biology and tumor size would help physicians/administrative staff triage more efficiently and without bias. Third, foregoing many steps in the care pathway such as eliminating Hepatology/ Surgery consult and direct referral to multidisciplinary cancer conference rounds then to RFA procedure. This type of triaging enables early treatment and relevant diagnostic tests (e.g., blood work) to be completed even while patients are waiting. In addition, as process are put in place patient advocacy programs will need to be included in order to optimize patient satisfaction within this comprehensive care model.Our study has several limitations. Our institution is a quaternary care referral center with a high volume of cases, which may not reflect other centres that offer RFA. Wait times in a center/city with a low incidence of viral hepatitis may differ as well as health systems with various providers and payers like in the United States. Additionally, our study only analyzed patients who were eligible for curative intent HCC treatment by RFA thus our results may not apply to those who are candidates for other forms of treatment such as trans arterial chemo-embolization (TACE).ConclusionCompared to other malignancies in the province of Ontario we found a relatively poor performance in treating curable HCC with wait times exceeding 90 days and incremental 30 day wait times to be significantly associated with a risk of residual tumor and death. We have identified this gap in care as a property of a system, in which the key barriers need to be addressed to prevent adverse patient outcomes. As these factors are better understood across institutions, best hospital practices could be developed to promote standardization of quality and efficiency of HCC care.Author ContributionsBrahmania had full access to all of the data in the study and takes responsibility for the integrity of the data and the accuracy of the data analyses.Study Concept and DesignBrahmania, Wong.Analysis and Interpretation of DataBrahmania, Kowgier.Drafting of the ManuscriptBrahmania, Kowgier.Critical Revision of the Manuscript for Important Intellectual ContentBrahmania, Renner, Wong, Sherman, Shah, Khalili, Beecroft, Feld, Janssen.Statistical AnalysisKowgier.Financial DisclosuresDr. Janssen has received research support, consulting, and/or speaking fees from Gilead, Novartis, Roche, Merck, AbbVie, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Tekmira, Janssen, MedImmune, ISIS, Medtronics and Santaris.

We investigated if wait times for RFA were associated with residual tumor, tumor recurrence, need for liver transplantation, or death. Material and methodsWe conducted a retrospective study of patients diagnosed with HCC between January 2010 and December 2013 presenting to University Health Network (UHN) in Toronto, Canada. All patients receiving curative intent RFA for HCC were included. Multivariable Cox regression was used to determine if wait times were associated with clinical outcomes. Results219 patients were included in the study. 72.6% were male and the median age was 62.7 years (IQR 55.6-71). Median tumor size at diagnosis was 21.5 mm (IQR 17-26); median MELD was 8.7 (IQR 7.2-11.4) and 57.1% were Barcelona stage 0. The cause of liver disease was viral hepatitis in 73.5% (Hepatitis B and C). The median time from HCC diagnosis to RFA treatment was 96 days (IQR 75-139). In multivariate analysis, wait time was not associated with requiring liver transplant or tumor recurrence, however, each incremental 30-day wait time was associated with an increased risk of residual tumor (HR = 1.09; 95% CI 1.01-1.19; p = 0.033) as well as death (HR = 1.23; 95% CI 1.11-1.36; p ≤ 0.001). ConclusionIncremental 30-day wait times are associated with a 9% increased risk of residual tumor and a 23% increased risk of death. We have identified system gaps where quality improvement measures can be implemented to reduce wait times and allocate resources for future RFA treatment, which may improve both quality and efficiency of HCC care."

patient flow&#44; physical environment&#44; and &#40;under&#41; staffing&#46; As these measures may be correlated with patient outcomes&#44; improving performance in wait time could have a large impact on quality of care for all patients seen with curable HCC&#46; However&#44; a focus on shortening wait times should be balanced against unintended consequence such as increasing volume of procedures in a system not equipped or staffed for the burden which may lead to physicians prioritizing efficiency over accuracy&#44; thoroughness and perhaps safety&#46;</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="f0020"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="p0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Our analysis has revealed three areas for actionable interventions that we believe could improve HCC wait times and patient outcomes&#46; First&#44; the development of criteria allowing certain cases to be referred directly for RFA treatment with no review or a less comprehensive&#47;accelerated review at multidisciplinary cancer conference rounds&#46; This change would eliminate the backlog created by the review of low-priority cases&#44; and create time for complicated cases to be discussed in an adequate and timely manner&#46; Second&#44; development of a triaging system of patients referred for RFA would also ensure that higher risk of poor outcomes receive treatment earlier&#46; Specifying consensus criteria using AFP&#44; tumor biology and tumor size would help physicians&#47;administrative staff triage more efficiently and without bias&#46; Third&#44; foregoing many steps in the care pathway such as eliminating Hepatology&#47; Surgery consult and direct referral to multidisciplinary cancer conference rounds then to RFA procedure&#46; This type of triaging enables early treatment and relevant diagnostic tests &#40;e&#46;g&#46;&#44; blood work&#41; to be completed even while patients are waiting&#46; In addition&#44; as process are put in place patient advocacy programs will need to be included in order to optimize patient satisfaction within this comprehensive care model&#46;</p><p id="p0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Our study has several limitations&#46; Our institution is a quaternary care referral center with a high volume of cases&#44; which may not reflect other centres that offer RFA&#46; Wait times in a center&#47;city with a low incidence of viral hepatitis may differ as well as health systems with various providers and payers like in the United States&#46; Additionally&#44; our study only analyzed patients who were eligible for curative intent HCC treatment by RFA thus our results may not apply to those who are candidates for other forms of treatment such as trans arterial chemo-embolization &#40;TACE&#41;&#46;</p></span><span id="s0065" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="st0095">Conclusion</span><p id="p0095" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Compared to other malignancies in the province of Ontario we found a relatively poor performance in treating curable HCC with wait times exceeding 90 days and incremental 30 day wait times to be significantly associated with a risk of residual tumor and death&#46; We have identified this gap in care as a property of a system&#44; in which the key barriers need to be addressed to prevent adverse patient outcomes&#46; As these factors are better understood across institutions&#44; best hospital practices could be developed to promote standardization of quality and efficiency of HCC care&#46;</p></span><span id="s0070" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="st0100">Author Contributions</span><p id="p0100" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Brahmania had full access to all of the data in the study and takes responsibility for the integrity of the data and the accuracy of the data analyses&#46;</p></span><span id="s0075" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="st0105">Study Concept and Design</span><p id="p0105" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Brahmania&#44;
