- چکیده انگلیسی: Objective: All types of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) require a major hepatectomy, which has many post-operative complications. All complications usually present with persistent hyperbilirubinemia; however, studies on the prediction of post-operative hyperbilirubinemia after hepatectomy for patients with CCA are lacking. We evaluated the causes and patterns of persistent hyperbilirubinemia among the patients who underwent hepatectomy for CCA. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 216 CCA patients who underwent curative-intent hepatic resection between January 2015 and December 2016. We identified five patterns of hyperbilirubinemia for predicting the cause of persistent hyperbilirubinemia and the respective patient outcome. All clinical parameters and outcomes were analyzed for any significant associations. Results: Twenty-eight patients (24%) had post-operative persistent hyperbilirubinemia. Of these, liver failure was the most common cause (42.9%), followed by bile leakage (14.3%), then cholangitis (3.6%). Re-rising of the bilirubin level after post-operative day 3(the ‘V’ pattern), very well predicted liver failure. Moreover, this pattern was associated with poor survival of the patient. Conclusion: The current study provided a picture of persistent hyperbilirubinemia after hepatectomy for CCA. The proportion of post-operative liver failure was 12 percent. The pattern of serum bilirubin level could be used as a predictor of liver failure and long-term outcomes of CCA patients. The ‘V’ pattern was significantly associated with a high rate of liver failure and poor survival.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), a common cancer in northeastern Thailand, is a severe disease with poor prognosis and short survival time following diagnosis. DNA damage in CCA is believed to be caused by liver fluke infection in combination with exposure to carcinogens. p53, a tumor suppressor, is the most mutated gene in human cancers including liver fluke-associated CCA. Hence, expression patterns of p53 and its target genes may be useful for diagnosis and/or prognosis of CCA patients. Methods: Differential mRNA expression of p53 and its target genes, namely, FUCA1, ICAM2 MDM2, p21, PAI-1, S100A9, and WIP1 in CCA tissue samples (n = 30) relative to matched adjacent non-tumor tissues was determined by quantitative RT-PCR and compared to clinicopathological features. Level of p53 protein was determined by immunohistochemistry and correlated with the expression of its target genes. Results: Immunohistochemistry showed elevation of p53 protein level in 77% of the cases, while RT-PCR showed downregulation of p53 mRNA and its seven target genes in 23% and 47-97% of the samples. PAI-1 was down-regulated in almost all CCA samples, thus highlighting it as a potential diagnostic marker for CCA. However, no significant clinical associations were found except for down-regulation of WIP1 that was significantly correlated with non-papillary type tissue (p-value = 0.001) and with high p53 protein level (p-value = 0.007). Conclusion: Our results demonstrated statistically significant association between down-regulation of WIP1 with non-papillary type and with high p53 protein level, and PAI-1 was down-regulated in almost all CCA. Therefore, expression level of WIP1 and PAI-1 may be useful for predicting p53 functional status and as a potential diagnostic marker of CCA, respectively.

Background: Effective treatments for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) are still lacking. There are promising results of checkpoint inhibitor programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) activities in early phase trials. This study aimed to investigate the expression of PD-L1 and its relation to possible treatments for CCA. Methods: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor samples from 46 patients with cholangiocarcinoma were retrieved. PD-L1 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry using anti-PD-L1 antibody, clone 5H1. A PD-L1 positive response on tumor cells was defined as >1% of tumor cell membranes stained. The association between PD-L1, clinico-pathological characteristics was analyzed using Fisher’s exact test, and survival analysis was done with the Cox regression model. Results: Out of 46 samples, 32 (70%) had positive PD-L1 expression in tumor cell membranes. The median level of PD-L1 expression was 1.75% (0-34.7). PD-L1 expression was significantly associated with stage IV disease (OR 3.98, p=0.046) and a high neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (OR 5.36, p=0.018). PD-L1 positivity was associated with worse overall survival compared with those with a PD-L1 negative tumor but did not reach a level of significance (7.2 vs. 7.9 months, p=0.32). Conclusion: PD-L1 is widely expressed in CCA but was not predictive for overall survival. PD-L1 positivity was (7.2 and 7.9 months, p=0.32). Significantly associated with stage IV disease and a high neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio.- انتشار مقاله: 25-02-1396
