ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To determine the optimal cutoff value of HCC% for predicting the outcome of patients with combined hepatocellular carcinoma-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CCA) and to investigate how preoperative MR features based on the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS ver. 2018) are related to the HCC% in cHCC-CCA.METHODS:
The study enrolled 107 patients pathologically confirmed to have single cHCC-CCA according to the 2019 WHO classification. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to find the optimal cutoff value of HCC% based on overall survival (OS). The preoperative MR imaging features and clinicopathological findings were retrospectively evaluated and compared between the high HCC% and low HCC% groups.RESULTS:
In total, 107 patients (mean age, males vs. females 56.6 ± 10.7 years vs. 54.2 ± 12.8 years) were evaluated. Analysis of the relationship between HCC% and OS by ROC curve suggested that the optimal cutoff value was 65%, by which 51 (47.7%) patients were assigned to the high HCC% group. LI-RADS categorization (OR = 3.657, p = 0.006 vs. OR = 4.075, p = 0.004) and serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) >5 ng/mL (OR = 0.348, p = 0.089 vs. OR = 0.298, p = 0.040) were significant predictors for HCC% in cHCC-CCA in both univariate and multivariate analysis.CONCLUSIONS:
cHCC-CCA patients with HCC components higher than 65% tend to exhibit better overall survival, and MRI-based LI-RADS categorization and serum CEA level are valuable for identifying HCC% in cHCC-CCA preoperatively. KEY POINTS ⢠cHCC-CCA patients with HCC components higher than 65% tend to exhibit better overall survival. ⢠MRI-based LI-RADS categorization and serum CEA level were significant predictors for HCC% in cHCC-CCA in both univariate and multivariate analyses and valuable for identifying HCC% in cHCC-CCA preoperatively.Palavras-chave
