Abstract:
Objective To retrospectively study the prognostic impact of paraneoplastic erythrocytosis (PE) on patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after liver resection.Methods 713 patients with HCC who underwent partial hepatic resection in The Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Guangxi Medical University were divided into two groups:the PE group (n =81) and the non-PE group (n =632).The overall survival between the two groups were compared after reducing confounding bias by using propensity score matching (PSM).Independent prognostic predictors were determined by the Cox proportional hazards model.Results 80 pairs of patients were matched using PSM.In the matched cohort,the PE group exhibited significantly longer overall survival (OS) compared to the NPE group of patients without erythrocytosis.The 1-,3-,and 5-year overall survival rates were 88.6％,74.2％,69.0％ in the PE group,and 91.0％,60.1％,41.6％ in the non-PE group,respectively (P ＜ 0.05).Using the log-rank test,tumor size ≥ 10cm,macrovascular invasion,Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage C,PE and complete tumor encapsulation were significantly associated with OS in patients with HCC after liver resection.The Cox regression analysis indicated that tumor size ≥ 10 cm,and Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage C were independent prognostic factors of poor prognosis,while complete tumor encapsulation and paraneoplastic erythrocytosis were independent predictors of good prognosis.Conclusions For patients with HCC who underwent surgical resection,patients with PE had better prognosis than those without PE under the condition of similar tumor burden.PE was an independent predictor of good prognosis.
