Abstract

The overall survival rate of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is still poor, and development of innovative therapy modalitiesis of crucial importance. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of available treatment modalities and investigate their impact on survival.Patients with HCC were included to the study. Disease stages were determined according to the most commonly used classificationsystems. Treatment modalities for patients were determined as local ablative, local palliative, surgery, systemic cytotoxic treatment,tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and best supportive care (BSC).Among 100 patients, 81 were men and 19 were women, the median agewas 64. According to the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer staging system (BCLC), 1% of the patients were at very early stage, 16.3%early-stage, 22.4% intermediate-stage, 56.1% advanced-stage, and 4.1% was at the terminal-stage. We observed significant difference with regards to overall survival (OS) rates among different disease stage (p< 0.001). Portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) wasreported in 42 patients, and the OS rate of patients with PVTT was poor (p= 0.001). Among the first-line treatments, 9 patients received local ablative therapy, 25 local palliative, 27 systemic cytotoxic, 12 tyrosine kinase inhibitors, 10 surgical resection, and 4 BSC.The difference with regards to OS ratios of treatment groups was significant (p< 0.0001).We observed differential impact of diversetreatment modalities on survival of HCC patients. The study also revealed importance of various factors such as tumor size, diseasestage, serum alpha-fetoprotein level, hepatic function status, and tumor vascular invasion status on clinical outcome.

Özet

Hepatoselüler karsinom (HSK) hastaların genel sağkalım oranı düşük olmaya devam etmektedir ve etkin tedavi yöntemlerinin belirlenmesi çok önemlidir. Bu çalışma ile mevcut tedavi yöntemlerinin etkinliklerinin değerlendirilmesi ve hasta sağkalımı üzerine etkilerinin araştırılması amaçlandı. Çalışmaya HSK tanılı hastalar dahil edildi. Hastalık evreleri en sık kullanılan sınıflandırma sistemlerine göre belirlendi. HSK hastaları için kullanılan tedaviler lokal ablatif, lokal palyatif, cerrahi rezeksiyon, sistemik sitotoksik tedavi, tirozin kinaz inhibitörleri ve destek tedavisi olarak belirlenmiştir.Toplam 100 hastanın 81’i erkek, 19’u kadın, ortanca yaş 64 idi. Barselona Klinik Karaciğer Kanseri evreleme sistemi’ne (BCLC) göre hastaların %1’i çok erken,% 16,3’ü erken evrede, %22.4’ü orta evre, %56,1’i ileri evre ve hastaların %4.1’i son evredeydi. Hastaların evrelerinde genel sağkalım (OS) oranları arasında anlamlı fark gözlendi (p< 0.001). Hastaların 42’sinde portal ven tümör trombozu (PVTT) rapor edildi ve PVTT’li hastaların OS anlamlı olarak kısa idi (p= 0.001). İlk basamak tedavisi olarak 9 hastaya lokal ablatif tedavi, 25 lokal palyatif, 27 sistemik sitotoksik, 12 tirozin kinaz inhibitör tedavisi, 10 cerrahi rezeksiyon ve 4 destek tedavisi ile takip edildi. Tedavi gruplarının OS’leri arasındaki fark anlamlıydı (p< 0.0001). Sonuç olarak ilk basamak tedavi yöntemlerinin HSK hastalarının sağkalımı üzerindeki anlamlı farklarını gözlemledik. Ayrıca bu çalışma tümör boyutu, hastalık evresi, serum alfa-fetoprotein düzeyi, karaciğer fonksiyon durumu ve tümör vasküler invazyon durumu gibi faktörlerin sağkalım süreleri üzerindeki anlamlı etkilerini belirlemiştir.
