ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhosis is diagnosed, most of times, when it is not susceptible to curative treatment. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a palliative therapeutic option with heterogeneous results. The HAP score stratifies patients who will benefit from the first TACE.

Objective:

To evaluate if the HAP score is a prognostic factor of HCC treated with TACE. Materials and

methods:

Retrospective cohort study in cirrhotic patients with HCC and first TACE at the Edgardo Rebagliati Martins National Hospital, Lima-Peru, from June 2011 to June 20139. The HAP score was applied, mortality and survival were observed with a follow-up of 36 months.

Results:

We included 54 patients with age of 67.7±9.9 years, 59.3% Child-Pugh A and 40.7% Child-Pugh B, MELD score of 11±2.7; 51.9 and 40.7% were BCLC A and B, respectively; 66.7% had a single tumor and 70.4% had a predominant tumor <5cm. The HAP score classified 8, 14, 26 and 6 patients as HAP A, B, C and D, respectively. The overall survival was 19.5±11.2 months and 32.8±6.5 months for HAP A, 24.9±14.8 months for HAP B, 13.9±5.2 months for HAP C and 14±6.6 months for HAP D. There were no deaths at 12 months in HAP A. At 24 months, mortality for HAP C and D was 100%. At 36 months, the survival rate for HAP A and B was 75 and 42.9%, respectively.

Conclusions:

The HAP score is a useful tool to guide the management decisions of cirrhotic patients with HCC requiring TACE due to its value in predicting mortality and survival.
RESUMEN

Introducción:

El carcinoma hepatocelular (CHC) en cirrosis es diagnosticado, la mayoría de veces, cuando no es susceptible de tratamiento curativo. La quimioembolizacón transarterial (QETA) es una opción terapéutica paliativa con resultados heterogéneos. El HAP score estratifica a los pacientes que se beneficiarán con la primera QETA.

Objetivo:

Demostrar si el HAP score es un factor pronóstico del CHC tratado con QETA. Materiales y

métodos:

Estudio de cohortes retrospectivo en pacientes cirróticos con CHC y primera QETA en el Hospital Nacional Edgardo Rebagliati Martins, Lima-Perú, junio-2011 a junio-2013. Se aplicó el HAP score, y se observó la mortalidad y sobrevida con un seguimiento de 36 meses.

Resultados:

Se incluyeron 54 pacientes con edad de 67,7±9,9 años, 59,3% Child-Pugh A y 40,7% Child-Pugh B, MELD de 11±2,7; 51,9 y 40,7% fueron BCLC A y B, respectivamente; 66,7% tuvo tumor único y el 70,4% tumor predominante menor a 5 cm. Se clasificó como HAP A, B, C y D a 8, 14, 26 y 6 pacientes, respectivamente. La sobrevida general fue 19,5±11,2 meses; y 32,8±6,5 meses para HAP A, 24,9±14,8 meses para HAP B, 13,9±5,2 meses para HAP C y 14±6,6 meses para HAP D. A los 24 meses, la mortalidad para HAP C y D fue 100%. A los 36 meses, la sobrevida para HAP A y B fue 75 y 42,9%, respectivamente.

Conclusiones:

El HAP score es una herramienta útil que orienta al manejo del CHC tributario de QETA por su valor pronóstico de mortalidad y sobrevida.
