BACKGROUND/AIM: Mac2-binding protein glycosylation isomer (M2BPGi) is a non-invasive marker for assessing liver fibrosis. This was a retrospective study investigating whether M2BPGi predicts recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatectomy in patients with HCC who achieved a sustained virological response (SVR).
We retrospectively reviewed the clinicopathological factors from 60 patients who underwent hepatectomy for HCC after achieving a SVR. We divided all patients into high M2BPGi and low M2BPGi groups and analyzed the clinicopathological and surgical outcomes.
High M2BPGi (>1.54, n=23) was significantly associated with lower serum albumin, higher ICGR15, higher Fib-4 index, large blood loss, and worse recurrence-free survival compared to low M2BPGi (≤1.54, n=37). Multivariate analysis identified high M2BPGi and large tumor size as being associated with reduced recurrence-free survival. Multivariate analysis identified lower serum albumin, larger tumor size and higher DCP as associated with reduced overall survival. There was no difference regarding recurrence pattern.
Preoperative M2BPGi is a useful biomarker for HCC recurrence after hepatectomy for SVR-HCC.
背景/目的：M2BPGi 糖基化异构体是一种评估肝纤维化的非侵入性标志物。本研究为回顾性研究，旨在探讨 M2BPGi 是否可预测获得持续病毒学应答（SVR）的 HCC 患者行肝切除术后 HCC 复发。
我们回顾性分析了 60 例 SVR 后行肝切除术的 HCC 患者的临床病理因素。我们将所有患者分为高 M2BPGi 组（>1.54，n=23）和低 M2BPGi 组（≤1.54，n=37），并分析了临床病理和手术结局。
与低 M2BPGi 组相比，高 M2BPGi 组（>1.54，n=23）的血清白蛋白较低、ICGR15 较高、Fib-4 指数较高、出血量较大，且无复发生存率较低。多因素分析表明，高 M2BPGi 和大肿瘤直径与无复发生存率降低相关。多因素分析表明，低血清白蛋白、大肿瘤直径和高 DCP 与总生存率降低相关。两组的复发模式无差异。
术前 M2BPGi 是预测 SVR-HCC 患者行肝切除术后 HCC 复发的有用生物标志物。
