Evaluation of Clinical and Prognostic Features in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Single Center Experience
Öz
Objective: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cause of cancer, and most of HCC patients have underlying cirrhosis. We aimed to retrospectively characterize patients with HCC who are followed up in our clinic, to investigate survival and to determine predictive factors for survival.
Materials and Methods: All patients diagnosed with HCC in Manisa Celal Bayar University Medical Oncology Outpatient Clinic between 2014-2019 were enrolled in the study retrospectively. Overall survival was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to determine predictive factors for survival.
Results Median age at diagnosis of 40 HCC patients followed up in our clinic is 66 and 90% of them are male. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is the most common etiological cause. It was observed that patients with higher C-Reactive Protein (CRP) levels had shorter survival times. There was no significant correlation between AFP level and survival.
Conclusion: It has been determined that HCC due to HBV is more common in our region. It is thought that targeted therapies are promising and predictive markers are needed in this direction.

Giriş ve Amaç: Hepatoselüler karsinom (HCC), kanserin yaygın bir nedenidir ve çoğu HCC hastasında altta yatan siroz vardır. Retrospektif olarak kliniğimizde takipli HCC'li hastalarını karakterize etmeyi, sağkalımı araştırmayı ve sağkalım için öngörücü faktörleri belirlemeyi amaçladık.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Manisa Celal Bayar Üniversitesi Tıbbi Onkoloji Polikliniğinde 2014-2019 yılları arasında HCC teşhisi konan tüm hastalar geriye dönük olarak çalışmaya kaydedildi. Genel sağkalım Kaplan -Meier yöntemi kullanılarak hesaplandı. Sağkalım için öngördürücü faktörleri belirlemek için çok değişkenli Cox regresyon analizi yapıldı.
Bulgular: Kliniğimizde takipli 40 HCC hastasının medyan tanı yaşı 66 olup %90’ı erkektir. Hepatit B virüs (HBV) enfeksiyonu en sık etyolojik sebeptir. C-Reaktif Protein (CRP) seviyesi daha yüksek olan hastaların sağkalım sürelerinin daha kısa olduğu görülmüştür. AFP düzeyi ile sağkalım arasında anlamlı korelasyon izlenmemiştir.
Sonuç: Bölgemizde HBV’ye bağlı HCC’nin daha sık görüldüğü saptanmıştır. Hedefe yönelik tedavilerin umut vadettiği ve bu yönde prediktif belirteçlere ihtiyaç duyulduğu düşünülmektedir.
