Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is the second most common primary liver cancer in humans after hepatocellular carcinoma and a rare epithelial malignancy that results in a poor prognosis. According to the Liver Cancer Study Group of Japan classification, ICC can be divided into three types: Mass-forming (MF) type, periductal-infiltrating (PI) type, and intraductal-growth type. The MF type is the most common, accounting for 57.1-83.6% of ICCs. Nevertheless, little is known about the epidemiology and treatment of MF ICC.
To examine the prognostic factors for patients with MF ICC.
We carried out a retrospective analysis of consecutive patients with MF ICC treated at the Faculty of Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery of Chinese PLA General Hospital between January 2008 and December 2018. According to the treatment received, the patients were divided into either a resection group or an exploration group.
The pooled 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates in the 68 patients with MF ICC were 66.5%, 36.3%, and 9.3%, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that surgical resection ( 0.001), nodal metastasis ( 0.001), tumor location ( = 0.039), vascular invasion ( 0.001), ascites ( 0.001), and differentiation ( = 0.009) were significantly associated with the prognosis and survival of MF ICC. Multivariate analysis revealed that ascites (hazard ratio [HR] = 5.6, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.6-18.9, = 0.006) and vascular invasion (HR = 2.5, 95%CI: 1.0-6.1, = 0.045) were independent risk factors for MF ICC. The pooled 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates in the 19 patients of the exploration group were 5.3%, 5.3%, and 0, respectively. Among the 49 patients who underwent surgical resection, the pooled 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 93.5%, 49.7%, and 14.4%, respectively. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that vascular invasion (HR = 3.1, 95%CI: 1.2-8.5, = 0.024) and nodal metastasis (HR = 3.2, 95%CI: 1.4-7.6, = 0.008) were independent prognostic risk factors for surgical resection patients.
The prognosis of MF ICC patients is dismal, especially those with ascites or vascular invasion. Surgical resection is a key factor in improving overall survival in patients with MF ICC, and vascular invasion and lymph node metastasis affect the efficacy of surgical resection.
肝内胆管癌(ICC)是仅次于肝细胞癌的人类第二常见原发性肝癌,是一种罕见的上皮性恶性肿瘤,预后较差。根据日本肝癌研究组的分类,ICC可分为三种类型:肿块形成型(MF型)、胆管周围浸润型(PI型)和管内生长型。MF型最为常见,占ICC的57.1 - 83.6%。然而,关于MF ICC的流行病学和治疗知之甚少。
探讨MF ICC患者的预后因素。
我们对2008年1月至2018年12月在中国人民解放军总医院肝胆胰外科接受治疗的连续MF ICC患者进行了回顾性分析。根据接受的治疗,将患者分为切除组或探查组。
68例MF ICC患者的1年、3年和5年总生存率分别为66.5%、36.3%和9.3%。单因素分析显示,手术切除(P = 0.001)、淋巴结转移(P = 0.001)、肿瘤位置(P = 0.039)、血管侵犯(P = 0.001)、腹水(P = 0.001)和分化程度(P = 0.009)与MF ICC的预后和生存显著相关。多因素分析显示,腹水(风险比[HR]=5.6,95%置信区间[CI]:1.6 - 18.9,P = 0.006)和血管侵犯(HR = 2.5,95%CI:1.0 - 6.1,P = 0.045)是MF ICC的独立危险因素。探查组19例患者的1年、3年和5年总生存率分别为5.3%、5.3%和0。在49例行手术切除的患者中,1年、3年和5年总生存率分别为93.5%、49.7%和14.4%。单因素和多因素分析显示,血管侵犯(HR = 3.1,95%CI:1.2 - 8.5,P = 0.024)和淋巴结转移(HR = 3.2,95%CI:1.4 - 7.6,P = 0.008)是手术切除患者的独立预后危险因素。
MF ICC患者的预后很差,尤其是有腹水或血管侵犯的患者。手术切除是提高MF ICC患者总生存率的关键因素,血管侵犯和淋巴结转移影响手术切除的疗效。
