BACKGROUND/AIM: The aim of the study was to evaluate surgical outcomes of patients with high-signal intensity (SI) image hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Between 2008 and 2013, 257 HCC patients were retrospectively evaluated. A total of 21 patients were diagnosed as high-SI image HCC, 215 as low-SI image HCC, and 21 patients as mixed (high and low)-SI image HCC in the hepatobiliary (HB) phase of MRI. Five-year overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were compared among patient groups.
The 5-year OS and RFS rates were significantly higher in patients with high-SI image HCC (100% and 56%) than in patients with low-SI image HCC (71%; p=0.097 and 38%; p=0.0209) and in patients with mixed-SI image HCC (73%; p=0.0329 and 9%; p=0.0021). High-SI image was an independent prognostic factor for OS (relative risk 0.167, p=0.0178) and RFS (relative risk 0.471, p=0.0322) on multivariate analysis.
Patients with high-SI image HCC showed favorable long-term survival after curative surgery.
背景/目的:本研究旨在评估高信号强度(SI)图像肝细胞癌(HCC)患者的手术治疗效果。
回顾性分析 2008 年至 2013 年间 257 例 HCC 患者。MRI 肝胆期检查中,21 例患者被诊断为高 SI 图像 HCC,215 例为低 SI 图像 HCC,21 例为混合(高和低)SI 图像 HCC。比较各组患者的 5 年总生存率(OS)和无复发生存率(RFS)。
高 SI 图像 HCC 患者的 5 年 OS 和 RFS 率明显高于低 SI 图像 HCC 患者(100%和 56%,p=0.097 和 38%,p=0.0209)和混合 SI 图像 HCC 患者(73%,p=0.0329 和 9%,p=0.0021)。高 SI 图像是 OS(相对风险 0.167,p=0.0178)和 RFS(相对风险 0.471,p=0.0322)的独立预后因素。
根治性手术后,高 SI 图像 HCC 患者的长期生存状况良好。
