Yangqing Huang Bin Huang Tong Kan Boshuai Yang Min Yuan Jiefei Wang 《World journal of surgery》2014,38(12):3186-3192
Background
Hepatic failure is a main cause of death after hepatectomy. Accurate preoperative evaluation of functional liver reserve is the key to ensure safe resection. Studies have found that the spleen would gradually enlarge as chronic liver disease worsened. This study was designed to determine whether preoperative liver-to-spleen ratio (LSR) would be an indicator to evaluate severity of liver disease and predict safety of hepatectomy.Methods
The volumes of liver and spleen were evaluated on computed tomography scan in 67 patients who received partial hepatectomy. Preoperative LSR was calculated. Statistical analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between LSR and the degree of chronic liver disease. Ability of LSR to predict the safety of hepatectomy also was evaluated.Results
LSR had a negative correlation with the degree of chronic liver diseases (r = ?0.606, P < 0.0001). LSR = 3.22 was the cutoff point for predicting posthepatectomy complications and inadequacy. AUC, sensitivity, and specificity for predicting posthepatectomy complications and inadequacy respectively were 0.830 (95 % confidence interval [CI] 0.715–0.950, P < 0.0001), 69.6, 93.2 %, and 0.863 (95 % CI 0.777–0.949, P < 0.0001), 68.8, 84.3 %. Multivariate analysis showed that LSR = 3.22 was the factor that affected both posthepatectomy complications and liver inadequacy.Conclusions
Preoperative LSR score correlated well with the degree of chronic liver diseases, and it probably help us to improve the safety of hepatectomy. 相似文献2.

Background
The long-term outcome after curative resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unsatisfactory because of the high incidence of recurrence. The present study was intended to assess the impact of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA level and nucleos(t)ide analog therapy on posthepatectomy recurrence of HBV-related HCC.Methods
Eligible studies were identified through a computerized literature search. The pooled relative risk ratio (RR) with 95 % confidence interval (CI) was calculated using Review Manager 5.1 Software.Results
Twenty studies with a total of 8,204 participants were included for this meta-analysis. Pooled analysis showed that high viral load was significantly associated with risk of recurrence (RR: 1.85, 95 % CI: 1.41–2.42; P < 0.001), poorer disease-free survival (DFS) (RR: 1.96, 95 % CI: 1.62–2.38; P < 0.001), and poorer overall survival (OS) (RR: 1.47, 95 % CI: 1.22–1.77; P < 0.001) of HBV-related HCC after surgical resection. Nucleos(t)ide analog therapy significantly decreased the recurrence risk (RR: 0.69, 95 % CI: 0.59–0.80; P < 0.001) and improved both DFS (RR: 0.70, 95 % CI: 0.58–0.83; P < 0.001) and OS (RR: 0.46, 95 % CI: 0.32–0.68; P < 0.001).Conclusions
High DNA level is associated with posthepatectomy recurrence of HBV-related HCC. Nucleos(t)ide analog therapy improves the prognosis of HBV-related HCC after resection. 相似文献3.

Background
The clinical significance of spontaneous hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) rupture association with recurrence pattern and long-term surgical outcomes remains under debate. We investigated the impact of spontaneous HCC rupture on recurrence pattern and long-term surgical outcomes after partial hepatectomy.Methods
From 2000 to 2012, 119 patients with diagnosed ruptured HCC were reviewed. To compare outcomes between staged hepatectomy in spontaneously ruptured HCC and hepatectomy in non-ruptured HCC, we performed propensity score-matching to adjust for significant differences in patient characteristics. Overall survival, disease-free survival, and recurrence pattern were compared between the matched groups.Results
Forty-four patients with newly diagnosed ruptured HCC and Child A class were initially treated with transcatheter arterial embolization for hemostasis. Three patients underwent emergency laparotomy, 18 underwent staged hepatectomy, and 23 received transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) alone after transcatheter arterial embolization. Among the 23 patients treated with TACE alone, 10 had resectable tumors. The staged hepatectomy group shows significantly higher overall survival with TACE alone than the resectable tumor group (P < 0.001). After propensity score-matching, overall survival, disease-free survival, and recurrence pattern were not significantly different between the ruptured HCC with staged hepatectomy group and the non-ruptured HCC with hepatectomy group. Peritoneal recurrence rates were similar at 14.3 % versus 10.0 %, respectively (P = 0.632).Conclusions
Patients with spontaneously ruptured HCC with staged hepatectomy show comparable long-term survival and recurrence pattern as patients with non-ruptured HCC having similar tumor characteristics and liver functional status. Thus, spontaneous HCC rupture may not increase peritoneal recurrence and decrease long-term survival after partial hepatectomy. 相似文献4.

Objective
Our objective was to explore the short-term effects of preoperative serum hepatitis B virus DNA level (HBV DNA) on postoperative hepatic function in patients who underwent partial hepatectomy for hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods
The clinical data of 1,602 patients with hepatitis B-related HCC who underwent partial hepatectomy in our department were retrospectively studied. The patients were divided into three groups according to their preoperative HBV DNA levels: group A <200 IU/mL, group B 200–20,000 IU/mL, and group C >20,000 IU/mL. The rates of postoperative complications, especially the rate of postoperative liver failure, were compared.Results
There were significant differences among the three groups in the rates of postoperative liver failure. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, a high preoperative HBV DNA level was an independent risk factor for postoperative liver failure.Conclusions
Preoperative HBV DNA level was a significant risk factor for postoperative hepatic dysfunction. 相似文献5.

Purpose
This study was designed to evaluate the surgical parameters and treatment outcomes of tumor hemodynamics-based pure laparoscopic (PURE) and laparoscopy-assisted (HYBRID) hepatectomy for small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) compared with those of open hepatectomy.Methods
Using a prospectively collected database from 1997 to 2011, we analyzed the data of 56 consecutive cases of laparoscopic hepatectomy for HCC (PURE, n = 24; HYBRID, n = 29; HALS, n = 3) from among 102 cases undergoing laparoscopic hepatectomy. We employed 27 cases treated by open hepatectomy during the same period as controls.Results
PURE was associated with lesser blood loss, lower weight of the resected liver, and a shorter skin incision than HYBRID and open hepatectomy [median blood loss (mL): PURE 7, HYBRID 380, Open 450; P < 0.05]. On the other hand, HYBRID hepatectomy was associated with a longer operation time [operation time (min): HYBRID 232, Open 185; P = 0.0226]. The length of hospitalization in the cases treated by PURE and HYBRID hepatectomy was shorter than that in the cases treated by open hepatectomy [length of hospitalization (days): PURE 11, HYBRID 12, Open 17; P < 0.05]. One case each of transfusion and morbidity was recorded in this series. There was no significant difference of the overall (OS) or disease-free survival (DFS) between the patients treated by laparoscopic and open hepatectomy (3-year OS: 100 vs. 100 %; DFS 50 vs. 62 %, respectively).Conclusions
Neither the surgical parameters nor the treatment outcomes of hemodynamics-based laparoscopic hepatectomy were inferior to those of open hepatectomy. 相似文献6.

Background
Long-term prognosis after resection of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) originating from non-cirrhotic liver is not fully clarified.Methods
A total of 183 patients who underwent curative hepatectomy for HCC without cirrhosis were classified into two groups: HBV infection group (n = 124) and non-HBV infection group (n = 59). Long-term postoperative outcomes were compared between the two groups.Results
The 5-year postoperative overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were 42.6 and 39.0 %, respectively, in the HBV infection group versus 52.3 and 46.5 % in the non-HBV infection group (both p > 0.05). When patients were subdivided according to TNM stages, OS in stages II or III HCC patients was similar between the two groups. In contrast, OS and DFS were significantly worse in stage I patients with HBV infection than those in stage I patients without HBV infection (p = 0.041 and 0.038, respectively). Preoperative serum HBV DNA >4 log10 copies/mL and vascular invasion were independent factors associated with poor prognosis (p = 0.034 and 0.017, respectively) for patients with HBV infection.Conclusions
After hepatic resection for HCC in non-cirrhotic liver, patients with HBV infection with early-stage tumors had worse prognosis than patients without HBV infection, possibly due to the carcinogenetic potential of viral hepatitis in the remnant liver. Antiviral therapy should be considered after hepatectomy in patients with high HBV DNA levels. 相似文献7.

Background
Progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) often leads to vascular invasion and intrahepatic metastasis, which correlate with recurrence after surgical treatment and poor prognosis. The molecular prognostic model that could be applied to the HCC patient population in general is needed for effectively predicting disease-free survival (DFS).Methods
A cohort of 286 HCC patients from South Korea and a second cohort of 83 patients from Hong Kong, China, were used as training and validation sets, respectively. RNA extracted from both tumor and adjacent nontumor liver tissues was subjected to microarray gene expression profiling. DFS was the primary clinical end point. Gradient lasso algorithm was used to build prognostic signatures.Results
High-quality gene expression profiles were obtained from 240 tumors and 193 adjacent nontumor liver tissues from the training set. Sets of 30 and 23 gene-based DFS signatures were developed from gene expression profiles of tumor and adjacent nontumor liver, respectively. DFS gene signature of tumor was significantly associated with DFS in an independent validation set of 83 tumors (P = 0.002). DFS gene signature of nontumor liver was not significantly associated with DFS in the validation set (P = 0.827). Multivariate analysis in the validation set showed that DFS gene signature of tumor was an independent predictor of shorter DFS (P = 0.018).Conclusions
We developed and validated survival gene signatures of tumor to successfully predict the length of DFS in HCC patients after surgical resection. 相似文献8.

Background
We explored the predictors of response to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with recurrent intrahepatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatectomy and investigated the survival of these patients according to the response to TACE.Methods
We analyzed data from 199 consecutive HCC patients who underwent curative liver resection and who later received repeat TACE for intrahepatic HCC recurrence.Results
Of 199 patients, 139 (69.8%) achieved complete necrosis (CN) of HCC after repeated TACE (mean TACE session number, 1.3) and the other 60 (30.2%) (non-CN group) did not achieve CN. At hepatectomy, the CN group showed significantly smaller proportions of tumor capsular invasion, microvascular invasion, and pathologic tumor–node–metastasis stage III or IV HCCs. At first TACE, the CN group showed a significantly greater proportion of patients with time to recurrence ≥ 1 year, Child–Pugh class A, serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels < 200 ng/mL, tumor size < 3 cm, solitary tumors, and nodular tumor types; portal vein invasion were less common than seen in the non-CN group. After multivariate analysis, tumor size < 3 cm and a single tumor at first TACE were independently related to attainment of CN after TACE. Median survival after first TACE was significantly longer in the CN group (48.9 versus 17.0 months). In a Cox regression model, CN after TACE was an independent predictor of favorable survival outcome after first TACE.Conclusions
CN after repeat TACE for postresection intrahepatic recurrence was attained more commonly in patients with smaller tumor size and lower tumor number at first TACE and favored longer survival in recurrent patients. 相似文献9.

Purpose
The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the elderly population has recently been increasing. In this study, we focused on a recent 10-year survey, and compared the clinicopathological features and postoperative outcomes of HCC in elderly (≥75 years of age) and younger patients (<75 years of age).Methods
A total of 255 patients who underwent hepatectomy for HCC from 2001 to 2010 at Wakayama Medical University Hospital were reviewed. The clinical characteristics were compared between the elderly and younger patients. The risk factors for postoperative complications and prognostic factors were identified using the multivariate analyses.Results
A total of 66 patients were classified as elderly patients. The incidence of HCC without viral liver disorders was significantly high in the elderly group than in the younger group. The independent risk factors [odds (95 % confidence intervals)] for postoperative complications were an ASA score of 3 [2.57 (1.20–5.49)] and the length of the operation [1.41 (1.09–1.81)]. The survival was similar between the two groups, and the only independent prognostic factor for survival in the elderly patients was vessel invasion.Conclusions
HCC derived from non-viral liver disorders was dominant in the elderly patients. Aging itself was not a risk factor for postoperative complications or the survival outcome. 相似文献10.

Background
The prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with macroscopic vascular invasion is extremely poor even after hepatic resection. We aimed to clarify the efficacy of adjuvant hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAI) for HCC with vascular invasion.Methods
A total of 73 HCC patients with macroscopic vascular invasion were divided into two groups: 38 with hepatectomy with HAI (HAI group) and 35 with hepatectomy alone (non-HAI group). From 1997 to 2007, HAI was performed via an implanted injection port. The treatment comprised three courses of weekly infusion of HAI, which comprised cisplatin (10 mg daily on days 1–5) followed by 5-fluorouracil (5-FU; 250 mg daily on days 1–5) infusion. From 2007, cisplatin (60 mg/m2), 5-FU (600 mg/m2), and a mixture of mitomycin C (3 mg/m2) and degradable starch microspheres were administered for two courses.Results
Overall, 92 % of patients completed adjuvant HAI. In the HAI and non-HAI groups, the 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 33.1 % and 11.8 %, respectively (p = 0.029), and the 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 46.7 % and 32.7 %, respectively (p = 0.318). Among the patients with Vp3/4 or Vv3 (n = 32) in the HAI group, the 3-year DFS and OS rates were 33.7 % and 56.8 %, respectively (p = 0.049). Those in the non-HAI group were 8.3 % and 12.0 %, respectively (p = 0.023). Cox proportional multivariate analysis for DFS revealed that HAI was an independent favorable prognostic factor in all 73 patients (hazard ratio 0.536; p = 0.029).Conclusions
Adjuvant HAI for HCC patients with vascular invasion might reduce the risk of recurrence. 相似文献11.

Background
This study aimed to classify transplantable recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after resection into subgroups according to the pattern of progression and to identify risk factors for each subgroup to select optimal candidates for salvage liver transplantation (LT).Methods
The patients that met the Milan criteria (MC) and were child-pugh class A at initial hepatectomy were included in the study. Of these patients, the patients with transplantable recurrence were identified and further divided into two groups according to the recurrent HCC progression pattern. Group 1 contained patients with controlled tumors within the MC. Group 2 contained patients with progressive tumors that spread beyond the MC. A controlled tumor was defined as the absence of tumor recurrence after locoregional treatment for ≥12 months or control of a recurrent tumor within the MC by active locoregional treatment.Results
After curative resection of HCC, 114 patients with transplantable recurrence were identified: 70 were classified as group 1 and 44 as group 2. Overall survival after recurrence was significantly higher in group 1 compared to group 2 (65.4 vs 35.7 %, respectively; P < 0.003). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that risk factors in group 1 were age >50 years and an indocyanine green retention at 15 min >10 %. The presence of a satellite nodule (SN) and/or microscopic portal vein invasion (mPVI) was the only independent risk factor identified in group 2. Among the 15 patients that underwent salvage LT, 2 of 3 patients (66.7 %) with SN and/or mPVI at initial hepatectomy developed extrahepatic recurrence.Conclusions
The patients with SN and/or mPVI at initial hepatectomy may not be candidates for salvage LT, and an extended observation time is required to determine tumor biology. 相似文献12.

Background
The duration of hepatic vascular inflow occlusion and the amount of intraoperative blood loss have significant negative impacts on postoperative morbidity, mortality and long-term survival outcomes of patients who receive partial hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with cirrhosis.Aim
This study aimed to compare the perioperative outcomes of partial hepatectomy for HCC superimposed on hepatitis B-related cirrhosis using two different occlusion techniques.Methods
A randomized controlled trial was carried out to evaluate the impact of two different vascular inflow occlusion techniques. The postoperative short-term results were compared.Results
During the study period, 252 patients received partial hepatectomy for HCC with cirrhosis. Of these patients, 120 were randomized equally into two groups: the Pringle manoeuvre group (n?=?60) and the hemi-hepatic vascular inflow occlusion group (n?=?60). The number of patients who had poor liver function on postoperative day 5 with ISLGS grade B or worse was 24 and 13, respectively (P?=?0.030). The postoperative complication rate was significantly higher in the Pringle manoeuvre group (40 versus 22 %, P?=?0.030). However, the Pringle manoeuvre group had significantly shorter operating time (116 versus 136 min, P?=?0.012) although there was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss between the two groups [200 ml (range 10–5,000 ml) versus 300 ml (range 100–1,000 ml); P?=?0.511]. There was no perioperative mortality.Conclusions
The results indicated that for patients with HCC with cirrhosis, hemi-hepatic vascular inflow occlusion was a better inflow occlusion method than Pringle manoeuvre. 相似文献13.

Background
Early recurrence correlates with poor survival following various cancer surgeries and puts considerable stress on patients both physically and mentally. This retrospective study investigated the predictive factors for early recurrence after surgical resection for initially unresectable colorectal liver metastasis to elucidate indications for conversion strategies.Methods
We retrospectively studied 46 patients who underwent hepatectomy after chemotherapy for initially unresectable colorectal liver metastasis from 1997 to 2010.Results
Recurrences occurred within 6 months after hepatectomy in 13 patients (37 %). The median survival time of 21.2 months and the 5-year survival rate of 0 % after hepatectomy in patients with recurrence within 6 months were significantly worse than those in patients with recurrence more than 6 months after hepatectomy. Recurrence in less than 6 months was significantly correlated with impossibility of anticancer therapy for recurrence after hepatectomy (p?=?0.01). Eight or more hepatic tumors after chemotherapy were the only predictor of recurrence within 6 months (p?=?0.01; odds ratio 9.6; 95 % confidence interval 1.5–60.6).Conclusion
Recurrence within 6 months was significantly correlated with a poorer outcome following surgery for initially unresectable colorectal liver metastasis. Surgical indication for initially unresectable colorectal liver metastasis with eight or more hepatic tumors after chemotherapy should be considered carefully in the light of mental and physical status, co-morbidity, and alternative treatment plans. 相似文献14.

Background
The present study aimed to clarify the clinicopathologic features of long-term disease-fee survival after resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods
This retrospective study identified 940 patients who underwent curative resection of HCC between 1991 and 2000 at five university hospitals. Seventy-four patients with 10 years of recurrence-free survival were identified and followed up. They were divided into two groups, 60 recurrence-free and 14 with recurrence after a 10-year recurrence-free period.Results
Overall survival rates of recurrence and non-recurrence groups were 68 and 91 % at 16 years, and 34 and 91 % at 20 years (p = 0.02), respectively. There were five (36 %), and two deaths (3 %), respectively, after 10 recurrence-free years. A second resection for recurrence was performed in four patients (29 %), and mean survival was 15.3 years after the first hepatectomy. Although three patients in the non-recurrence group (5 %) developed esophageal and/or gastric varices, seven patients in the recurrence group (50 %) developed varices during 10 years (p < 0.0001). In multivariate analysis, preoperative and 10-year platelet count was identified as a favorable independent factor for maintained recurrence-free survival after a 10-year recurrence-free period following curative hepatic resection of HCC.Conclusions
Recurrence of HCC may occur even after a 10-year recurrence-free period. Long-term follow-up after resection of HCC is important, and should be life-long. Patients with higher preoperative and 10-year platelet counts are more likely to have long-term survival after resection. A low platelet count, related to the degree of liver fibrosis, is a risk factor for recurrence and survival of HCC after curative resection. 相似文献15.

Background
The postresection alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in cirrhotic patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may predict overall survival (OS) and recurrence beyond Milan criteria (MC) among the subgroup of initially transplantable patients.Methods
All patients with cirrhosis resected for HCC between January 1990 and December 2010 in a single institution and presenting a serum AFP value?>?15 ng/ml at diagnosis were included. The postresection AFP was analyzed as a dichotomized variable: normalization (norm + group) or not (norm ? group) within the 90-day postresection period.Results
Among 271 resected patients, 141 patients (52 %) had a level of serum AFP?≥?15 ng/ml at diagnosis. Five-year OS and median survival were 42 % and 52 months in group norm + versus 20 % and 23 months in the group norm ? (P?=?0.009). On multivariate analysis, the absence of AFP normalization was an independent factor of poor OS as well as microvascular invasion, and satellites nodules. Among theoretically transplantable patients, independent predictors of recurrence beyond MC were the absence of AFP normalization (risk ratio (RR) 5.02 [1.53–16.34]) and microvascular invasion (RR 4.76 [1.42–15.34]).Conclusion
The postresection AFP has an independent prognostic value. Transplantable patients resected for HCC without 90-day AFP normalization should be discussed for early liver transplantation. 相似文献16.

Introduction
Recent data support liver resection (LR) as first-line approach in patients with preserved liver function who have resectable/transplantable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study was designed to evaluate the outcome of LR in patients with transplantable HCC.Methods
Between 1998 and 2009, 75 patients (65 men, mean age 61 ± 11 years) with HCC eligible for liver transplantation (LT) underwent LR. The underlying hepatic disease was related to hepatitis C (HCV) in 30 (40 %) patients, hepatitis B (HBV) in 15 (20 %) patients, alcohol abuse in 26 patients (36 %) and other in 10 patients (13 %). Fifty-five (73 %) patients had cirrhosis. Intermittent clamping of the hepatic pedicle was used in 41 (55 %) patients. Treatment of recurrence by salvage LT was performed in 6 (8 %) patients.Results
Operative morbidity and mortality rates were 37 and 5 % respectively. At 1, 3, and 5 years, overall (OS) and disease-free (DFS) survival rates were 81, 69,55 and 56, 31, and 21 %, respectively. On multivariate analysis, HCV infection was the only independent factor associated with decreased OS (p = 0.02). On multivariate analysis, HCV infection (p = 0.05) and intermittent hepatic pedicle clamping (p = 0.003) were associated with decreased DFS. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS and DFS rates in patients with HCV-related HCC were 69, 53, 38 and 50, 18, and 9% respectively.Conclusions
Overall and disease-free survival after liver resection in patients with HCV-related HCC and preserved liver function is poor. Primary LT should be offered to these patients. 相似文献17.
Background
Preoperative α-fetoprotein (AFP) levels may have an influence on disease-free survival (DFS) of patients after liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) located on a cirrhotic liver.Methods
Between 2000 and 2009, two groups were distinguished according to preoperative AFP level: normal-level group (<10?ng/ml) and increased-level group (>10?ng/ml). The increased-level group was further divided into three levels of preoperative AFP: 10–150, 150–500, and ≥500?ng/ml. DFS and recurrence rates were compared. All patients underwent transplantation using the preoperative 5/5 criteria.Results
Of the 122 patients in this study, 63 had normal and 59 had increased preoperative AFP. There were no differences between the two groups concerning perioperative or pathologic data. Those with an increased preoperative AFP level had a significantly shorter 5-year DFS, and their recurrence rate was higher than that of the normal AFP group. The 5-year DFS and recurrence rates were 71 and 4?%, respectively, for those with normal AFP; 57 and 10?%, respectively, for those with AFP 10–150?ng/ml; 46 and 24?%, respectively, for those with AFP 150–500?ng/ml; and 28 and 62?%, respectively, for those with AFP ≥500?ng/ml.Conclusions
This study shows the prognostic value of preoperative AFP levels on DFS after a liver transplant for HCC in a population of patients undergoing transplantation with the same preoperative criteria. 相似文献18.

Background
There is conflicting evidence concerning platelet status and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) prognosis. We evaluated the prognostic value of platelet-based indices, including platelet count, platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) in HCC after hepatic resection.Methods
We retrospectively reviewed 332 patients with HCC treated with hepatectomy between 2006 and 2009. Preoperative platelet count, as well as demographic, clinical, and pathologic data, were analyzed.Results
Both disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were significantly improved for patients with low platelet count, PLR, and APRI compared to patients with elevated values. On multivariate analysis, APRI, tumor size ≥5 cm, noncapsulation, and multiple tumors were all associated with both poor DFS and OS. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year DFS rates were 52, 36, and 32 % for patients with APRI <0.62 and were 35, 22, and 19 % for patients with APRI ≥0.62. Correspondingly, the 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates were 77, 51, and 42, and 63, 35, and 29 % for both groups. Both DFS and OS of patients with APRI <0.62 were significantly better compared to patients with an elevated APRI (P = 0.009 and 0.002, respectively). Patients with elevated APRI tended to have cirrhosis, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, surgical margin <1 cm, and noncapsulated tumors.Conclusions
Elevated platelets based inflammatory indices, especially APRI, was associated with adverse characteristic features and poor prognosis in HCC, especially for patients with HBV infection or cirrhosis. Antiplatelet treatment may represent a potential therapy for HBV-induced HCC recurrence. 相似文献19.

Background
Microvascular infiltration (MVI) is considered a necessary step in the metastatic evolution of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but its prognostic value after liver resection (LR) is uncertain. We studied the clinical value of MVI compared to the Milan criteria in a consecutive series of patients submitted to radical LR.Methods
A total of 441 patients were retrospectively evaluated. MVI and the Milan criteria were analyzed and compared as prognostic factors for overall and disease-free survival (DFS).Results
MVI was present in 189 patients (42.8 %). Grading, satellitosis, size of cancer, and alfa fetoprotein value were significantly related to MVI, which was present in 34.3 and 53.2 % of Milan+ and Milan? patients, respectively (p = 0.00001). Both MVI and the Milan criteria were associated with a lower overall and DFS, but only the Milan criteria were associated with the rate of early recurrence and the feasibility of a curative treatment of the recurrence. The application of MVI parameters to patients classified by the Milan criteria further selects the outcome in Milan+ patients (5-year survival rate of 54.1 and 67.9 %, respectively, in the presence or absence of MVI) but not in Milan? patients.Conclusions
MVI is related to survival after LR for HCC, but the clinical value of this information is limited. In Milan+ patients, the absence of MVI selects the cases with better prognosis. In the presence of a liver recurrence, the Milan criteria related to the primary HCC show a better prognostic accuracy and have clinical relevance in the decision-making process. 相似文献20.
