Abstract

Introduction and objectives: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an aggressive tumor and presents late. The underlying etiology of HCC is changing rapidly. HCC in Sri Lanka is unique due to its predominant non-viral etiology (nvHCC) but lacks survival data.

Method: Data was collected from patients who presented with HCC from 2011 to 2018. There were 560/568 (98.6%) nvHCC. The patients who were not candidates for tumor-specific treatment (149/560 [26.7%]) were selected. Population characteristics, demographic data, tumor characteristics, survival and factors affecting survival were analyzed.

Results: The median age was 64 years (range 30-88) and 86% (n = 129) were males. As many as 124 (83%) were cirrhotic. The overall performance score was 80%. Nearly 21/124 tumors were detected in cirrhotic screening. Tumors were single nodular in 32 (21%), up to three nodules in 28 (18%), more than three nodules in 33 (22%) and diffusely infiltrating in 56 (37%). The major venous invasions were present in 78 (52.3%). Extra-hepatic tumor spread was seen in 19 (12.7%) (lungs 13 [72.2%], bones 2 [11.1%]). The median survival of patients receiving palliative care was three months (1-43 months). Tumor size and cirrhotic status were significant predictors in univariate analysis.

Conclusion: A quarter of nvHCCs were not amenable to treatment at presentation as they had dismal survival.

Clinical trial registry number: P/126/09/2021.

未经治疗的晚期非病毒性肝细胞癌的特征和存活率。

导言和目标：肝细胞癌（HCC）是一种侵袭性肿瘤，发病较晚。HCC 的病因正在迅速变化。斯里兰卡的 HCC 因其主要的非病毒病因（nvHCC）而独具特色，但缺乏生存数据：方法：从2011年至2018年期间的HCC患者中收集数据。其中有 560/568 例（98.6%）非病毒性 HCC。选择了不适合肿瘤特异性治疗的患者（149/560 [26.7%]）。分析了人群特征、人口统计学数据、肿瘤特征、生存率以及影响生存率的因素：中位年龄为 64 岁（30-88 岁不等），86%（129 人）为男性。肝硬化患者多达124人（83%）。总体表现评分为 80%。近 21/124 例肿瘤是在肝硬化筛查中发现的。32人（21%）的肿瘤为单发结节，28人（18%）的肿瘤为多达三个结节，33人（22%）的肿瘤为三个以上结节，56人（37%）的肿瘤为弥漫浸润。78例（52.3%）存在主要静脉侵犯。19例（12.7%）患者出现肝外肿瘤扩散（肺部13例[72.2%]，骨骼2例[11.1%]）。接受姑息治疗的患者的中位生存期为三个月（1-43 个月）。在单变量分析中，肿瘤大小和肝硬化状态是重要的预测因素：结论：四分之一的nvHCC在发病时无法接受治疗，因为他们的生存率很低：P/126/09/2021.
