ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Objetivo: El objetivo del estudio fue describir las características clínico-patológicas de individuos diagnosticados de cáncer de hígado, vías biliares o vesícula. Materiales y métodos: Entre el 2006 y 2017, se diagnosticaron 89 pacientes (57% mujeres; media: 62 años) con estos canceres en dos hospitales nacionales de Lima, Perú. Resultados: Los resultados mostraron que, independientemente del tipo de cáncer, 64% de los participantes habían sido diagnosticados en estadios avanzados. La anemia fue más frecuente en los pacientes con cáncer de vías biliares e hígado y en estadios avanzados. Se observó mayor frecuencia (32%) de hipertensión arterial (HTA) en el grupo con cáncer de hígado. El análisis por edad mostró que en los pacientes mayores de 50 años la HTA fue más frecuente. Asimismo, sujetos menores de 50 años reportaron antecedentes de infecciones previas en mayor frecuencia (50%), siendo Hepatitis B (HBV) la más común. Conclusiones: Este estudio describe las características clínico-patológicas de base de una neoplasia poco estudiada en el ámbito nacional.


ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of the study was to describe the clinicopathological profile of patients diagnosed with liver, bile ducts or gallbladder cancer. Materials and methods: Between 2006 and 2017, 89 patients (57% female; mean age: 62 years-old) with these cancers were diagnosed at two national hospitals in Lima, Peru. Results: Most patients (64%) had advanced stages of disease. Anemia was more frequent in patients with bile duct and liver cancer and in advanced stages. Hypertension (HTN) was frequent among liver cancer patients (32%). The analysis by age showed that HTN was more frequent in patients over 50 years. Likewise, people under 50 years had more frequent history of previous infections (50%), Hepatitis B (HBV) being the most common. Conclusions: This study describes the baseline clinicopathological characteristics of a malignancy poorly studied in Peru.

ABSTRACT

Abstract INTRODUCTION: The etiology of several hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases remains largely unknown. Although Fasciola hepatica has been associated with liver fibrosis in Latin America, it has not yet been associated with HCC. This study aimed to determine the existence of specific IgG antibodies against F. hepatica in the serum samples of HCC patients. METHODS In total, 13 serum samples from 13 HCC patients were screened using Fas2-ELISA. RESULTS Fas2-ELISA demonstrated negative results in all HCC patients included in this study. CONCLUSIONS The pre-existence of F. hepatica infection in HCC patients needs to be further investigated in epidemiological and experimental studies.
