Risk Factors for Cholangiocarcinoma After Initial Hepatectomy for Intrahepatic Stones
World journal of surgery(2016)
Abstract
Background Aggressive hepatectomy is effective in treating intrahepatic stones and may minimize the deleterious consequences of subsequent cholangiocarcinoma (S-CCA). The risk factors of S-CCA after different methods of hepatectomy may vary with the resection scope of stone-affected segments. Methods We reviewed the records of 981 patients of primary intrahepatic stones with elective hepatectomy from January 2000 to December 2010. The clinical characteristics of patients in the S-CCA group ( n = 55) and the control group ( n = 926) were compared. The uniformity between extent of liver resection (ELR) with stone-affected segments (SAS) was segmented into 2 varieties: ELR = SAS with ELR < SAS according to the different hepatic resection scopes. Cox regression model with forward selection was used to identify the risk factors of S-CCA. Results In the univariate analysis, significant differences were observed between the S-CCA and control groups concerning stone location (unilateral 43.6 and 65.2 %, bilateral 56.4 and 34.8 %), residual stones (32.7 and 11.6 %), hepaticojejunostomy (43.6 and 30.9 %), and uniformity between ELR with SAS (ELR = SAS 20.0 and 42.6 %, ELR < SAS 80.0 and 57.4 %). Residual stones [hazard ratio (HR) 2.101, P = 0.016], hepaticojejunostomy (HR 1.837, P = 0.026) and uniformity between ELR and SAS (HR 2.442, P = 0.013) were independent prognostic factors for S-CCA by a Cox regression analysis with forward selection. In the subsection of ELR = SAS group, the 5- and 10-year postoperative tumor occurrence rates of unilateral and bilateral stones group were 0.9 versus 1.9 % and 3.0 versus 4.1 %, respectively ( P = 0.663, log-rank). In the other subsection of ELR < SAS group, the 5- and 10-year postoperative tumor occurrence rates of unilateral and bilateral stones group were 3.4 versus 3.9 % and 6.8 versus 13.2 %, respectively ( P = 0.047, log-rank), and the 5- and 10-year postoperative tumor occurrence rates of residual stones and non-residual stones group were 5.8 versus 3.0 % and 16.0 versus 7.9 %, respectively ( P = 0.015, log-rank). Conclusions Patients who underwent aggressive hepatectomy and had ELR = SAS had better outcomes than those with ELR < SAS. In the patients with ELR = SAS, the S-CCA rates of unilateral and bilateral stones were low and comparable. However, patients with ELR < SAS and bilateral intrahepatic or residual stones should be monitored more carefully for high-risk factors of S-CCA.
