Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the risk factors of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in patients with hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer (HR+/HER2-BC) and the impact of NAFLD on the survival of patients.Methods:54 HR+BC patients were enrolled in this study. The liver fat accumulation was examined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The patients were divided into two groups: non-NAFLD and NAFLD. Student's t test or Fisher's test was used to analyze the clinical indicators of the two groups. Logistic univariate and multivariate tests were used to analyze the clinical risk factors related to NAFLD. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to further analyze the sensitivity of clinical risk factors to predict the diagnosis of NAFLD. The Disease-free survival (DFS) and Overall survival (OS) of the two groups were analyzed by Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test. Results:There were 22 NAFLD patients and 32 non-NAFLD patients diagnosed by MRI. Student's t test or Fisher's test showed that BMI, waist circumference, AST, ALT, GGT, TG, LDL and HDL were statistically different between the two groups (all P<0.05). Logistic univariate and multivariate analysis showed that AST ( OR=1.05, 95% CI: 1.02-1.10, P=0.007), GGT ( OR=1.04, 95% CI: 1.01-1.09, P=0.038), TG ( OR=1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.06, P=0.011) and HDL ( OR=1.06, 95% CI: 1.01-1.12, P=0.037) were the risk factors associated with NAFLD. ROC curve analysis showed that the combination of AST, GGT, TG and HDL had high sensitivity in predicting NAFLD (AUC=0.869, P<0.05). There was no difference in DFS ( HR=1.830, 95% CI: 0.983-3.409, P=0.057) or OS ( HR=2.482, 95% CI: 0.761-8.093, P=0.132) between the two groups. Conclusion:AST, GGT, TG and HDL are the independent risk factors for NAFLD in HR+BC patients during treatment, but concurrent NAFLD has no significant effect on DFS or OS.
