摘要:
目的 建立BCLC 0/A期肝细胞癌(HCC)根治性切除术后复发评分预警系统(PLC-EWSPRS)并对其预测价值进行分析。 方法 回顾性分析川北医学院附属医院2009年1月—2015年1月行根治性切除的232例BCLC 0/A期HCC患者的临床资料。根据电话或门诊资料随访术后5年内是否复发分为复发组(103例)和非复发组(129例)。符合正态分布的计量资料两组间比较采用t检验; 非正态分布的计量资料两组间比较采用Mann-Whitney U检验。计数资料两组间采用χ2检验或Fisher精确法检验。将差异具有统计学意义的指标纳入二元logistic回归分析,探讨BCLC 0/A期HCC术后复发的危险因素。将独立危险因素赋值为2分,危险因素赋值为1分,建立PLC-EWSPRS系统。采用受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线下面积(AUC)评估其诊断效能。 结果 两组患者术前AST(Z=3.864, P<0.001)、ALT(Z=4.587, P<0.001)复发组明显高于非复发组,术前Alb(t=-5.628, P<0.001)复发组明显低于非复发组; 复发组HBsAg阳性、包膜侵犯、微血管侵犯(MVI)、肿瘤直径≥5 cm、肝硬化(中重度)、非R0切除、5年死亡数所占比例均显著高于非复发组(χ2值分别为35.539、22.325、13.398、7.130、4.312、4.034、18.527,P值均<0.05)。回归分析显示:术前Alb<40 g/L(OR=5.796,P<0.001)、术前ALT≥40 U/L(OR=3.029,P=0.002)、MVI(OR=3.981,P=0.003)、HBsAg阳性(OR=7.829,P<0.001)、包膜侵犯(OR=5.357,P<0.001)、非R0切除(OR=3.048,P=0.018)均为根治性切除的BCLC 0/A期HCC术后5年复发的独立危险因素。根据PLC-EWSPRS系统拟定的赋分标准,复发组最低分2分,最高分14分; 非复发组最低分0分,最高分11分,复发组分值明显高于非复发组,两组患者分值比较差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。ROC曲线分析结果显示,预测根治性切除的BCLC 0/A期HCC者术后5年内复发的AUC(95%CI)为0.918(0.883~0.953),P<0.001;亚组预测低、中、高分数段术后5年内复发的AUC(95%CI)分别为:0.796(0.695~0.896),P=0.002;0.859(0.791~0.927),P<0.001;0.944(0.839~1.000),P=0.044。 结论 PLC-EWSPRS对BCLC 0/A期HCC患者术后5年复发具有良好的预测价值,对根治性切除的BCLC 0/A期HCC患者术后复查及治疗策略的制订具有重要的指导意义。 Abstract:Objective To establish an Early Warning System for Recurrence Scoring after Radical Resection of BCLC stage 0/A Primary Liver Cancer (PLC-EWSPRS), and to investigate its predictive value. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 232 patients with BCLC stage 0/A liver cancer who underwent radical resection in Affiliated Hospital of Chuanbei Medical College from January 2009 to January 2015, and according to the presence or absence of recurrence within 5 years after surgery based on telephone or outpatient follow-up data, the patients were divided into recurrence group with 103 patients and non-recurrence group with 129 patients. The t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between groups; the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The indices with statistical significance were included in the binary logistic regression analysis to investigate the risk factors for recurrence of BCLC stage 0/A liver cancer after surgery. Two points were assigned for independent risk factors and one point was assigned for risk factors to establish the PLC-EWSPRS system. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of this system. Results Compared with the non-recurrence group, the recurrence group had significantly higher levels of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and a significantly lower level of albumin (Alb) before surgery (Z=3.864 and 4.587, t=-5.628, all P < 0.001), as well as a significantly higher proportion of patients with positive HBsAg, capsular invasion, microvascular invasion (MVI), tumor diameter ≥5 cm, liver cirrhosis (moderate-to-severe), non-R0 resection, or death within 5 years (χ2=35.539, 22.325, 13.398, 7.130, 4.312, 4.034, and 18.527, all P < 0.05). The regression analysis showed that preoperative Alb < 40 g/L (odds ratio [OR]=5.796, P < 0.001), preoperative ALT ≥40 U/L (OR=3.029, P=0.002), MVI (OR=3.981, P=0.003), positive HBsAg (OR=7.829, P< 0.001), capsular invasion (OR=5.357, P< 0.001), and non-R0 resection (OR=3.048, P=0.018) were independent risk factors for recurrence of BCLC stage 0/A liver cancer within 5 years after surgery. According to the assignment criteria of the PLC-EWSPRS system, the recurrence group had the lowest score of 2 points and the highest score of 14 points, while the non-recurrence had the lowest score of 0 point and the highest score of 11 points, and the recurrence group had a significantly higher score than the non-recurrence group (P < 0.05). The ROC curve analysis showed that the PLC-EWSPRS system had an AUC of 0.918 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.883-0.953, P < 0.001) in predicting recurrence within 5 years after surgery in patients with BCLC stage 0/A liver cancer undergoing radical resection, and subgroup analysis showed that the system had an AUC of 0.796 (95% CI: 0.695-0.896, P=0.002), 0.859 (95% CI: 0.791-0.927, P < 0.001), and 0.944 (95% CI: 0.839-1.000, P=0.044), respectively, in predicting recurrence within 5 years after surgery in patients with a low score of 0-5 points, a moderate score of 6-10 points, and a high score of 11-14 points. Conclusion The PLC-EWSPRS system has a good value in predicting the recurrence of BCLC stage 0/A liver cancer within 5 years after surgery and thus has important guiding significance for postoperative reexamination and treatment strategy for patients with BCLC stage 0/A liver cancer undergoing radical resection. -
