Abstract

Introduction: Biopsy of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may help with selecting appropriate chemotherapy with inconclusive imaging; concern about potential seeding may limit its use.

Methods: A systematic review was conducted to assess the risk of tumor seeding with biopsy of HCC excluding nonliver cancers or seeding after interventions.

Results: A total of 2,339 unique abstracts were identified; 37 studies were included in the final analysis. The rate of tumor seeding was 0.62% (range 0%-7.77%) in 13,959 biopsies performed. The average reported median lengths of follow-up was 35.8 months (range 10.5-60 months).

Discussion: Overall, the risk of tumor seeding with biopsy of HCC is low.

肝细胞癌穿刺活检中的肿瘤播散：系统性综述。

导读：肝细胞癌（HCC）活检可能有助于在影像学不确定的情况下选择合适的化疗方案；对潜在播种的担忧可能会限制其使用。方法：进行了一项系统评价，以评估HCC活检肿瘤播种的风险，不包括非肝癌或干预后播种。结果：共鉴定出独特摘要2339篇；最终分析纳入37项研究。在13959例活检中，肿瘤播种率为0.62%（范围0%-7.77%）。报告的平均中位随访时间为35.8个月（10.5-60个月）。讨论：总体而言，HCC活检肿瘤播种的风险较低。
