Abstract
OBJECTIVES:
Routine screening for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is recommended in
chronic hepatitis B (HBV) patients with cirrhosis and select non-cirrhotic
HBV populations including Asian males ages 40 and older and females ages 50
and older. However, many younger HBV patients develop HCC and there have
been few studies examining this group. Additionally, studies of HCC in the
Asian immigrant population in the United States have been limited. The
objective of this study was to determine the associated risk factors for
the development of early-onset (males and females under ages 40 and 50,
respectively) and late-onset HCC in immigrants with chronic HBV in the
United States.
METHODS:
Clinical, demographic, and laboratory data were retrospectively collected
on all Asian immigrants with HBV at Bellevue Hospital Center from 2003 to
2009. Patients with HCC were identified within this cohort. Features of
early-onset and late-onset HCC cases were compared with age-matched HBV
controls without HCC.
RESULTS:
We identified 168 cases of HCC in Asians with HBV. In all, 74% (124/168) of
cases were late-onset, and 26% (44/168) were early-onset. When comparing
the 124 late-onset HCC cases with 199 age-matched HBV controls, gender
(odds ratio (OR)=4.4; P<0.05) and cirrhosis (OR=9.6; P<0.05) or surrogate
labs (i.e., platelets, international normalized ratio, total bilirubin,
albumin) were found to be associated with HCC development. When comparing
the 44 early-onset HCC cases with 432 age-matched HBV controls, family
history of HCC (OR=2.7; P<0.05), and smoking history (OR=3.4; P<0.05) were
independently associated risk factors in addition to gender (OR=2.7;
P<0.05), and cirrhosis (OR=19.5; P<0.05) or surrogate labs. In all, 54.8%
of late-onset HCC cases were cirrhotic and 29.5% of early-onset HCC cases
were cirrhotic.
CONCLUSIONS:
HCC occurs in Asian immigrant HBV patients younger than currently
recommended screening guidelines. A large majority of these early-onset
patients did not have cirrhosis at the time of their HCC diagnosis;
therefore, factors other than cirrhosis need to be considered when
evaluating HCC risk in young patients. Factors associated with HCC
development across all ages include cirrhosis and male gender, while family
history and smoking history may identify younger Asian immigrant HBV
patients at risk for HCC. Prospective validation, including
cost-effectiveness evaluation, is necessary, but our results suggest that
younger Asian HBV patients, especially those with a smoking history or
family history of HCC, appear to have an increased risk for HCC and should
be considered for enrollment in early screening programs regardless of
their age.Am J Gastroenterol advance online publication, 13 September 2011;
