Efficacy of P2/MS and AFP in Early Prediction of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Recurrence
Abstract
Gereç ve yöntem: Retrospektif olarak 69 hepatoselüler karsinoma hastası, rekürrens varlığı açısından tarandı. Kanser rekürrensi radyolojik olarak trifazik tomografi ve manyetik rezonans inceleme ile belirlendi. P2/MS formülü için [trombosit sayısı (109/L)]2/[monosit yüzdesi x nötrofil yüzdesi] kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Toplam 42 hastanın hepatoselüler karsinoma rekürrensi vardı. Rekürrens öngörümü için P2/MS sınır değeri ≤59,9 alındığında %100 özgüllük ve %95,24 duyarlılık saptandı. Alfa-fetoprotein için sınır değeri >57,5 alındığında ise %83,3 özgüllük ve %92,6 duyarlılık saptandı.
Sonuç: Bu bulgular ışığında, P2/MS ve alfa-fetoprotein hepatoselüler karsinoma rekürrensini öngördürmede güvenilir belirteçler olarak kabul edilebilir. Hepatoselüler karsinoma rekürrensinin erken tahmininde non-invaziv test olarak kullanılabileceklerini öneriyoruz.

Efficacy of P2/MS and AFP in Early Prediction of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Recurrence
Abstract:
Objective: P2/MS is a simple, inexpensive and non-invasive test for the evaluation of hepatic fibrosis in cirrhosis. Elevated alpha-fetoprotein levels in hepatocellular carcinoma is related with recurrence. We aimed to examine the efficacy of P2/MS and alpha-fetoprotein in early prediction of hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence and to determine a cut-off value for P2/MS and alpha-fetoprotein.
Methods: Sixty nine patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were retrospectively scanned for recurrence existence. The recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma was diagnosed radiologically, via 3-phase tomography and magnetic resonance investigation. The formula of P2/MS was platelet count (109/L)2/[monocyte count (%) x neutrophil count (%)].
Results: Forty two patients had hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence. For the recurrence prediction, the cut-off value of P2/MS was ≤59.9 with 100% specificity and 95.24% sensitivity. The cut-off value of alpha-fetoprotein was found >57.5 with 83.3% sensitivity and 92.6% specificity.
Conclusion: With these findings, P2/MS and alpha-fetoprotein seems as reliable markers for the prediction of hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence. We suggest that they can be used as non-invasive tools for the early estimation of hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence.
Key Words: P2/MS, AFP, hepatocellular carcinoma, recurrence.
