Background and aims: Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is a major
concern in patients with Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) and may develop,
even when a patient is adequately treated. Incidence of HCC is
reported as being higher in patients with co-factors including
cirrhosis, high viral load, family history of HCC, male sex and
alcohol excess.
In Northern Ireland all Hepatitis B cases are managed at a single
regional centre.
The aim of this studywas to ascertain the incidence of HCC in the CHB
cohort attending the regional viral hepatitis clinic.
Method: Data was analysed using the regional liver unit Hepatitis B
database. This information was cross-referenced with the CHB
treatment database and Northern Ireland Electronic Care Record.
Co-infected patient were not included in this review.
Results: 1126 patients attended the Liver Unit for management of
Hepatitis B between 2009 and 2018.
15 (1.3%) were diagnosed with HCC. 12 (80%) were male. 10 patients
(67%) had established cirrhosis.
3 (20%) received transartertial chemoembolization (TACE), 2 (13%)
were transplanted and 2 (13%) underwent resection, 1 (7%) received
Sorafenib therapy, 1 (7%) underwent resection, TACE and Sorafenib
therapy,1 (7%) received ablation therapy. 5 (33%)were not suitable for
intervention.
11 (73%) are now deceased.
10 patients (67.5%) were South East Asian in ethnicity, 1 (6.5%) was
from Northern Ireland with 1 (6.5%) each from Portugal, Nigeria,
Spain and Lithuania. 4 of the 5 patients who developed HCC without
underlying cirrhosis were South East Asian men, the remaining
patient was Portuguese.
7 patients (47%) had significant viraemia of >20, 000 at the time of
diagnosis.
12 (80%) were treated with nucleotide/nucleoside analogues while
the remaining 3 (19%) were referred at an advanced stage and not
commenced on treatment. 9 (69%) of those receiving antiviral
therapy achieved complete viral suppression at their last recorded
HBV DNA PCR.
In total,147 patients received antiviral therapy, of whom49 (33%) had
cirrhosis. The incidence of HCC in this high risk group was 12 (8%).
Conclusion: The incidence of HCC in patients with CHB attending the
regional viral hepatitis clinic is 1.3% but is much higher in the
subgroup that have received antiviral therapy (8%). Significant
cofactors include male sex and South East Asian ethnicity, high
viral load and established cirrhosis. |
