This study aimed to determine the correlation between protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist-II (PIVKA-II) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Sixty-one patients received SBRT between 2015 and 2020 with a median dose of 48 Gy (range, 39 to 60 Gy) with a median of 4 fractions. Changes in tumor markers before and after SBRT were analyzed.
The median follow-up period was 31 months (range, 12 to 64 months). The estimated 2-year in-field failure-free survival, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival rates were 82.0%, 39.3%, and 96.7%, respectively. Patients with decreased PIVKA-II levels through SBRT had significantly few in-field failures (p = 0.005). Patients with PIVKA-II levels of ≤25 mAU/mL after SBRT had significantly long PFS (p = 0.004).
PIVKA-II could be a useful surrogate marker for response or survival outcomes in patients with localized HCC receiving SBRT.
本研究旨在确定维生素K缺乏或拮抗剂-II诱导蛋白(PIVKA-II)与肝细胞癌(HCC)患者立体定向体部放疗(SBRT)之间的相关性。
2015年至2020年期间,61例患者接受了SBRT,中位剂量为48 Gy(范围39至60 Gy),中位分割次数为4次。分析了SBRT前后肿瘤标志物的变化。
中位随访期为31个月(范围12至64个月)。估计的2年野内无失败生存率、无进展生存率(PFS)和总生存率分别为82.0%、39.3%和96.7%。通过SBRT使PIVKA-II水平降低的患者野内失败显著较少(p = 0.005)。SBRT后PIVKA-II水平≤25 mAU/mL的患者PFS显著较长(p = 0.004)。
PIVKA-II可能是接受SBRT的局限性HCC患者反应或生存结果的有用替代标志物。
