ABSTRACT
Background:
Recurrence is a major risk factor affecting the postoperative survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), especially those with high preoperative serum γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) levels. This study had the aim of developing a personalized predictive tool to accurately determine the risk of postoperative recurrence of hepatitis B-virus (HBV)-related HCC in patients with high preoperative serum GGT levels.Methods:
Patients who underwent curative liver resection of HBV-related HCC and had high preoperative GGT levels were consecutively enrolled between 2008 and 2011. Prognostic indicators for recurrence were determined using Cox regression analysis. A nomogram was then developed and assessed by integrating the independent risk factors into the model.Results:
A total of 603 eligible patients were included. The final nomogram for predicting HCC recurrence in patients with high preoperative GGT levels consisted of five independent prognostic factors α-fetoprotein (AFP), HBV-DNA, satellite nodules, microvascular invasion, and tumor grade. The C-index of the nomogram for predicting recurrence was 0.759, and validation showed high accuracy and discriminatory.Conclusions:
The predictive nomogram developed and validated in this study performs well in predicting postoperative recurrence of HBV-related HCC in patients with high preoperative GGT levels. It can provide personalized assessments to inform the development of surveillance strategies and allows patients with a high risk of recurrence to be selected for further adjuvant treatment.
