Abstract:
Objective To investigate the appropriate cutoff point of CA19-9 in prognosis and to determine other potential prognostic factors which may affect survival of patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HC) after radical surgery.Methods 168 patients who had undergone radical surgery for hilar cholangiocarcinoma with R0 and R1 resection were selected for the study.Categorized versions were used in univariate model to determine the appropriate cutoff point of CA19-9.CA19-9 and other clinicopathologic factors were analyzed for their influence on survival using multivariate methods.Results The strongest univariate predictor among the categorized preoperative CA19-9 measures was CA19-9 of less than 150 IU/L (P ＜0.001).On univariate analysis,age,differentiation,tumor size,Bismuth-Corlette classification,portal vein invasion,lymph node metastasis,hepatic artery invasion,liver invasion,preoperative biliary drainage,resection margin and preoperative CA19-9 levels were identified as significant prognostic factors.On multivariable analysis,lymph node metastasis,resection margin and preoperative CA19-9 levels were independent prognostic factors of survival.Conclusions A raised preoperative CA19-9 level was an independent prognostic factor of survival for hilar cholangiocarcinoma.The most discriminative cutoff point of CA19-9 for prognosis was at 150 kU/L.
