Primary Prophylaxis for High-Risk Varices in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Portal Vein Tumor Thrombus Delayed Hepatic Decompensation: A Retrospective, Propensity Score Matching Study
Primary prophylaxis delays hepatic decompensation in HCC patients with PVTT. The incidence of EVB was also lower in the prophylaxis group, particularly in those treated with NSBB. First-line IO treatment is independently associated with better DFS and OS.
