    Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma refers to a malignant tumor that originates from the epithelial cells of the secondary bile duct and the branches of the intrahepatic bile duct. With the characteristics of difficult early diagnosis, high malignancy and poor prognosis. Although intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is relatively rare, it’s still the second most common primary malignant tumor of the liver following the hepatocellular carcinoma. In recent years, the morbidity and mortality of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma have been increasing. Surgical resection is currently the only radical cure, but most patients have lost the opportunity for surgery when they are diagnosed. With local treatment technology has made great progress. Those patients with unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, could get benefits from local treatment in terms of tumor burden reducing, symptoms relieved, prolong survival, and even transforming to surgery available. The current common local treatment methods mainly include: ablation treatment, transvascular treatment and radiotherapy. This article reviews the current status and progress of the main local treatments for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. In order to get more approaches to multiple discipline therapy in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

    The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in China ranked fourth among all malignant tumors, and the mortality rate ranked second in 2015. Approximately 85% of Chinese patients are in the intermediate stage or advanced stage at the first visit and lose the best treatment chance. The 5-year survival rate of them is only 12%. Since 2007, treatments for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma mostly focused on targeted therapy, with limited efficacy. In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors have achieved 17% ~ 20% and 15% ~ 20% objective response rate in first-line and second-line monotherapy respectively. Immunotherapy shows obviously anti-tumor effect that is superior to traditional targeted therapy. Initial results have also achieved in the field of neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy for HCC. However, several challenges such as treatment selection after disease progression and disease recurrence after liver transplantation are still unsolved. Exploring immune-specific biomarkers to predict the efficacy has also become an important direction in the field of immunotherapy. In this review, we summarized the research progress of immunotherapy and biomarkers for hepatocellular carcinoma.

    Objective: To analyze the incidence and mortality of liver cancer in Shanxi cancer registries in 2019, and to provide the strategies of prevention and treatment of liver cancer.
    Method: According to the "Chinese Guideline for Cancer Registration" and referring to the data quality audit evaluation standards formulated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)/International Association of Cancer Registration (IACR), a summary analysis was conducted on the incidence, death, and population data of liver cancer reported by tumor registration points in Shanxi Province that meet the quality control standards. The incidence/mortality crude rate, standardized incidence/mortality rate, and the cumulative rate of 0-74 years old were calculated by gender, area (urban and rural), and age. The age-standardized of Chinese standard population (ASR China) and world standard population (ASR world) were calculated by the Chinese standard population in 2000 and Segi's population, respectively.
    Result: In 2019, 644 new cases of liver cancer were recorded in Shanxi cancer registries, accounting for 5.39% of all new cancer cases. The crude incidence rate was 13.18 per 100 000, with ASR China of 8.13 per 100 000 and ASR world of 8.30 per 100 000, respectively. The cumulative incidence rate (0-74 years old) was 0.96%. Liver cancer was the 7th most common cancer in the registration areas of China in 2019. The incidence of ASR China was 2.46 times in males as that in females, and it was 0.99 times in urban areas as that in rural areas. A total of 791 cases died of liver cancer in Shanxi cancer registries, accounting for 10.00% of all cancer deaths. The crude mortality rate was 16.19 per 100 000, with ASR China of 9.90 per 100 000 and ASR world of 10.06 per 100 000. The cumulative mortality rate (0-74 years old) was 1.16%. Liver cancer was the 4th most common cause of cancer deaths in the registration areas of China in 2019. The mortality of ASR China was 1.90 times in males as that in females, and it was 0.78 times in urban areas as that in rural areas. The incidence and mortality of liver cancer both increased with age, and the incidence increased more significantly after the age of 40. The incidence and mortality in Shanxi Province reached the peak in the age group of 85 years, and the male was higher than the female.
    Conclusion: The incidence and mortality rates of liver cancer in Shanxi cancer registries are lower than national average, the male is higher than the female, and higher in rural areas than in urban areas. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of liver cancer should focus on males and pelple in rural areas. Early diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer should be promoted to increase the detection rate of early liver cancer and reduce the disease burden caused by liver cancer.

    Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy based on CYP3A5 gene polymorphisms in guiding the individualized tacrolimus therapy after liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: Clinical data of 120 patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma were analyzed who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation from January 2018 to December 2019. According to whether the donor and recipient CYP3A5 gene was detected before operation, they were divided into individualized medication group and conventional medication group. The initial dose of tacrolimus was determined according to CYP3A5 genotype and previous experience in the two groups. The recovery rates of liver function at 14, 21, 28 days and 3, 6, 9, 12 months after operation were observed. The incidence of acute rejection, acute kidney injury, neurological symptoms, infection, de novo hypertension, de novo diabetes and the overall survival rate were recorded. Results: The differences of recovery rate of liver function between the two groups of recipients at 14 days and 21 days after was statistically significant (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications and overall 1-year and 2-year survival rates between the two groups (P> 0.05). Conclusion: It is safe to guide individualized tacrolimus after liver transplantation according to CYP3A5 gene polymorphism and beneficial to long-term survival for hepatocellular carcinoma recipients.

    Objective: To evaluate the prognostic value of glasgow prognostic score(GPS), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), model for end-stage liver disease(MELD) score and WPCBAL score in end-stage primary liver cancer(PLC) patients. Methods: Clinical data of 50 end-stage PLC patients discharged dead from the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between January 2010 to April 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The general information and scores of four prognostic tools on last admission were collected. Differences of survival time among prognostic tools were compared by the log-rank test. Predictive values of various prognostic tools for 3-week mortality were evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC) analysis. Results: The median survival time was 9.5 days (95% CI: 6 ~15 days), and the 3-week mortality rate was 80.0%. Log-rank test showed that the survival time of MELD score≥ 15 group was shorter than MELD score < 15 group (7d vs. 16d, P = 0.002), and WPCBAL score≥ 5 group had a shorter survival time than WPCBAL score < 5 group (7d vs. 10d, P = 0.029). ROC analysis showed that the area under the ROC (AUC) of MELD score and WPCBAL score in predicting 3 week survival of patients with end-stage liver cancer were 0.7325 (95% CI: 0.5571~0.9079) and 0.6838 (95% CI: 0.5188~0.8487), respectively. Conclusion: MELD score and WPCBAL score are valuable in predicting the short-term survival status of end-stage PLC patients with low sensitivity.

    Electronic Journal of Liver Tumor    2023, 10 (3): 83-88.  
    Abstract38)      PDF (1982KB)(43)       Save
    Extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma has a high risk of local recurrence after surgical resection, so adjuvant therapy is needed to improve relapse-free survival and overall survival, among which radiotherapy is an important treatment. This article reviews the role of adjuvant radiotherapy, neoadjuvant radiotherapy, radical radiotherapy and palliative radiotherapy in the treatment of extrabiliary cholangiocarcinoma. Some studys showed that postoperative adjuvant chemoradiotherapy could improve the disease-free survival and overall survival of patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The results of liver transplantation alone have been disappointing for unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma, and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy combined with liver transplantation has been explored with encouraging results in unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma. For unresectable extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, radical chemoradiotherapy prolongs survival. Stenting combined with palliative radiotherapy can improve stent patency and improve the quality of life of patients. Radiotherapy combined with effective multimodal therapy holds promise for improving the survival rate of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

    Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the leading cause of cancer death in the world and one of the most common malignant tumors in China. At present, a small percentage of patients with early-stage disease is mostly treated by surgery. However, most patients are in the middle and late stage when diagnosed, and lose the opportunity of surgery. With the progress of radiotherapy methods and the discovery of therapeutic targets, the comprehensive treatment of HCC using radiotherapy combined with systemic therapy has rapidly increased, which are also popularized in clinical practice. In order to explore effective radiotherapy combined with systemic therapy and improve the condition and prognosis of patients with HCC, this review will systematically introduce the research progress of radiotherapy combined with systemic therapy for HCC.

    Objective:To explore the effect of narrative nursing model based on evidence-based medicine on early ambulation and compliance of patients with primary liver cancer after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE).
    Methods:From December 2019 to February 2022, 70 patients with primary liver cancer undergoing TACE in our hospital were randomly divided into the control group (n=35) and the observation group (n=35) with conventional perioperative nursing and narrative nursing model based on evidence-based medicine. The early ambulation and early recovery, compliance before and after receiving nursing, quality of life score changes and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.
    Results:The observation group had shorter first time out of bed activity and longer activity duration than the control group (P<0.05). The observation group had shorter anal exhaust, general food recovery, and hospitalization time in sequence compared to the control group (P<0.05). After nursing, the compliance and QLICP-LI scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group had a lower incidence of postoperative complications (P<0.05).
    Conclusion:The narrative nursing model based on evidence-based medicine for patients with primary liver cancer after TACE can shorten the time of early ambulation, promote postoperative recovery, reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications, improve patient compliance, and improve the quality of life.
