肝细胞癌四种临床分期系统预后判断和治疗指导价值的比较

目的 比较4个分期系统巴塞罗那临床肝癌分期标准(BCLC)、日本综合分期积分(JIS)、意大利肝癌评分(CLIP)和国内分期]对中国肝癌患者预后判断和对治疗方案选择的指导意义.方法 回顾性分析2001年至2002年复旦大学附属中山医院收治的861例初发肝细胞癌患者的临床资料,分别按4个分期系统分期或评分,比较各期患者的生存情况以及不同治疗方案对其生存的影响.结果 在判断预后方面,BCLC、JIS和国内分期系统的各分期间生存率差异均有统计学意义;而在CLIP分期的一些评分间的生存率差异无统计学意义.在指导治疗方面,BCLC C期,CLIP 3、4分以及国内分期ⅢA期的患者接受手术治疗与接受肝动脉化学治疗栓塞(TACE)和(或)肝动脉栓塞(TAE)治疗的生存率差异无统计学意义;而比这些更早期的患者接受手术治疗的生存率优于接受TACE和(或)TAE治疗的生存率.结论 BCLC、JIS和国内分期系统在判断预后方面适用于中国患者;但仅国内分期和BCLC分期同时兼备了判断预后和指导治疗两方面的作用.

Comparison of four staging systems in predicting outcomes and guiding option of treatment for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma

Objective To compare the Barcelona clinic liver cancer staging classification (BCLC), the Japan integrated staging score (JIS), the cancer of the liver Italian program score (CLIP) and Chinese staging system in terms of their ability to predict outcomes and to guide option of therapy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in China.Methods Clinical data of 861 HCC patients from Zhongshan Hospital between 2001 and 2002 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were classified acccording to different staging systems. Survival for patients in different stages and the effects of therapeutic methods on survival time were compared. Results BCLC, JIS and Chinese staging system showed the ability in predicting survival for patients in different staging. CLIP failed to show significant difference in survival rates for each subgroup. There was no significant difference in survival rate between surgery and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE)/transarterial embolization (TAE) for patients classified as BCLC stage C, CLIP scores more than 3 or Chinese stage Ⅲ a.The survival rate, however, was higher in patients received operation than those received TACE/TAE if they were classified as earlier stages. Conclusions The BCLC, JIS and Chinese staging systems show prospective ability for Chinese HCC patients in prediction outcomes, whereas the BCLC and the Chinese staging systems are better at both predicting outcomes and guiding the option of treatment.
