To compare the prognostic factors and outcomes after hepatic resection among patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-positive, hepatitis C virus (HCV)-positive, and negative for hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis C antibody, so-called "NBNC"-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using the data from a nationwide survey.
The incidence of NBNC-HCC is rapidly increasing in Japan.
A total of 11,950 patients with HBV-HCC (n = 2194), HCV-HCC (n = 7018), or NBNC-HCC (n = 2738) who underwent a curative hepatic resection were enrolled in this study. The clinicopathological features were compared among the groups. The significant prognostic variables determined by univariate analysis were subjected to a multivariate analysis using a Cox proportional hazard regression model.
Liver function in the HCV-HCC group was significantly worse than that in the HBV-HCC and NBNC-HCC groups. The NBNC-HCC group had significantly more advanced HCC than the HCV-HCC group. The 5-year overall survival rates after hepatectomy in the HBV-HCC, HCV-HCC, and NBNC-HCC groups were 65%, 59%, and 68%, respectively. The 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates in these 3 groups were 41%, 31%, and 47%, respectively. Stratifying the RFS rates according to the TNM stage showed that the NBNC-HCC group had a significantly better prognosis than the HBV-HCC group in stages II, III, and IVA, and a significantly better prognosis than the HCV-HCC group in stages I and II. Multivariate analysis revealed a significantly better RFS rate in the NBNC-HCC group.
The findings of this nationwide survey indicated that patients with NBNC-HCC had a significantly lower risk of HCC recurrence than those with HBV-HCC and HCV-HCC.
利用一项全国性调查的数据,比较乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)阳性、丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)阳性以及乙型肝炎表面抗原和丙型肝炎抗体阴性的患者(所谓的“非乙型肝炎/非丙型肝炎”)行肝切除术后的预后因素和结局。
在日本,“非乙型肝炎/非丙型肝炎”肝癌(HCC)的发病率正在迅速上升。
本研究共纳入 11950 例接受根治性肝切除术的 HBV-HCC(n=2194)、HCV-HCC(n=7018)或 NBNC-HCC(n=2738)患者。比较了各组的临床病理特征。对单因素分析确定的显著预后变量进行 Cox 比例风险回归模型的多因素分析。
HCV-HCC 组的肝功能明显差于 HBV-HCC 和 NBNC-HCC 组。NBNC-HCC 组的 HCC 分期明显比 HCV-HCC 组更晚。HBV-HCC、HCV-HCC 和 NBNC-HCC 组肝切除术后 5 年总生存率分别为 65%、59%和 68%。3 组 5 年无复发生存率(RFS)分别为 41%、31%和 47%。根据 TNM 分期分层 RFS 率显示,NBNC-HCC 组在 II、III 和 IVA 期的预后明显优于 HBV-HCC 组,在 I 和 II 期的预后明显优于 HCV-HCC 组。多因素分析显示,NBNC-HCC 组的 RFS 率明显更高。
这项全国性调查的结果表明,与 HBV-HCC 和 HCV-HCC 患者相比,NBNC-HCC 患者 HCC 复发的风险显著降低。
