To evaluate prognostic significance of DKK1 for hepatocelluar carcinoma.
MATERIALS & METHODS: We enrolled a test cohort consisting of 266 hepatitis virus B-related hepatocelluar carcinoma patients who had undergone hepatectomy and a validation cohort of 95. Associations of DKK1 with overall survival and time to recurrence were determined by Cox proportional hazards regression model.
High levels of preoperative serum DKK1 were associated with poor overall survival and higher recurrence rate and DKK1 was an independent prognostic predictor. Moreover, DKK1 maintained ability to predict recurrence for patients with low recurrence risk. Double positives of DKK1 and AFP indicated the worst overall survival and the highest recurrence rate compared with either used alone. Patients with preoperatively and 1-day postoperatively positive DKK1 had higher recurrence rates than those whose values were both negative. Similar results were found in the validation cohort.
Serum DKK1 could predict prognosis of hepatocelluar carcinoma after hepatectomy.
评估DKK1对肝细胞癌的预后意义。
我们纳入了一个由266例接受肝切除术的乙型肝炎病毒相关肝细胞癌患者组成的测试队列和一个95例的验证队列。通过Cox比例风险回归模型确定DKK1与总生存期和复发时间的关联。
术前血清DKK1水平高与总生存期差和复发率高相关,且DKK1是一个独立的预后预测指标。此外,DKK1对低复发风险患者仍有预测复发的能力。与单独使用DKK1或AFP相比,DKK1和AFP双阳性患者的总生存期最差,复发率最高。术前和术后1天DKK1均为阳性的患者复发率高于两者均为阴性的患者。在验证队列中也发现了类似结果。
血清DKK1可预测肝切除术后肝细胞癌的预后。
