Predictive Value of Serum CYFRA 21-1 and CK19-2G2 for Tumor Aggressiveness and Overall Survival in Hepatitis C-Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma Among Egyptians: A Prospective Study.
Purpose: Cytokeratin 19 fragment 21-1 (CYFRA 21-1) and cytokeratin 19 fragment 2G2 (CK 19-2G2) are two soluble fragments of cytokeratin 19 (CK 19) that can be detected in serum. CK 19-positive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is characterized by an aggressive behavior and a poor outcome. This study aimed to assess the prognostic value of serum CYFRA 21-1 and CK 19-2G2 in predicting tumor aggressiveness and overall survival (OS) in patients with hepatic C virus (HCV)-related HCC.
Methods: The current study included 138 patients with HCV-related HCC recruited from the Hepatobiliary and Interventional Radiology Units at Alexandria's main university hospitals and 40 healthy individuals as controls. Patients were assessed for clinical, radiological tumor characteristics, and aggressiveness index. Baseline serum CYFRA 21-1 and CK 19-2G2 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Results: Elevated CYFRA 21-1 levels were associated with tumors size ≥ 5 cm (p < 0.001), malignant portal vein thrombosis (mPVT) (p < 0.001), distant metastasis (p = 0.030), ill-defined/infiltrative pattern (p = 0.010), and aggressiveness index > 4 (p = 0.045). Elevated CK19-2G2 levels were not associated with any clinical or radiological characteristics. Either or both elevated serum CYFRA 21-1 and CK 19-2G2 in combination with alpha-feto protein (AFP) ≥ 400 ng/ml have a better predictability for mPVT and ill-defined/infiltrative patterns (sensitivity (10-25%) and specificity (96-100%)). Elevated levels of CYFRA 21-1, CK 19-2G2, or AFP ≥ 400 ng/ml were associated with decreased 1-year OS.
Conclusions: Either or both elevated serum CYFRA 21-1 and CK 19-2G2 levels when added to AFP ≥ 400 ng/ml are specific but less sensitive biomarkers for predicting tumor aggressiveness. These biomarkers can be used independently to predict reduced 1-year OS in Egyptian patients with HCV-related HCC.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Gastrointestinal Cancer is a multidisciplinary medium for the publication of novel research pertaining to cancers arising from the gastrointestinal tract.The journal is dedicated to the most rapid publication possible.The journal publishes papers in all relevant fields, emphasizing those studies that are helpful in understanding and treating cancers affecting the esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder and biliary tree, pancreas, small bowel, large bowel, rectum, and anus. In addition, the Journal of Gastrointestinal Cancer publishes basic and translational scientific information from studies providing insight into the etiology and progression of cancers affecting these organs. New insights are provided from diverse areas of research such as studies exploring pre-neoplastic states, risk factors, epidemiology, genetics, preclinical therapeutics, surgery, radiation therapy, novel medical therapeutics, clinical trials, and outcome studies.In addition to reports of original clinical and experimental studies, the journal also publishes: case reports, state-of-the-art reviews on topics of immediate interest or importance; invited articles analyzing particular areas of pancreatic research and knowledge; perspectives in which critical evaluation and conflicting opinions about current topics may be expressed; meeting highlights that summarize important points presented at recent meetings; abstracts of symposia and conferences; book reviews; hypotheses; Letters to the Editors; and other items of special interest, including:Complex Cases in GI Oncology: This is a new initiative to provide a forum to review and discuss the history and management of complex and involved gastrointestinal oncology cases. The format will be similar to a teaching case conference where a case vignette is presented and is followed by a series of questions and discussion points. A brief reference list supporting the points made in discussion would be expected.
