Background: Serum hepatitis B core-related antigen
(HBcrAg) is a marker that reflects intrahepatic cccDNA
transcription activity, and its association with the development
of hepatocellular carcinoma (HBV-HCC) has been reported
However, there are few reports on the association between
HBcrAg and prognosis in patients with HCC We aimed to
analyze the relationship between prognosis and HBcrAg
in HCC cases with hepatitis B in this study Methods: This
study included 599 HBV-related patients who visited our
hospital and were followed up for more than 6 months In
133 patients with nucleos(t)ide analog (NA) therapy who had
a history of HCC, factors related to the survival after HCC
diagnosis were examined Results: Among total of HBVrelated
diseases, the median follow-up duration was 9 3
years, and 66 cases died during the observation period The
cause of death was development of HCC in 34, liver failure in
11, and non-liver related death in 21 cases. One hundred fifty
cases with a history of HCC during the observation period had
significantly shorter survival time compared with non-HCC
cases (p<0 001) Of the 133 HCC patients who had started
NA therapy during the clinical course, 77% was male, and
the age at HCC diagnosis was 61 (53-68) years The clinical
stages were immune clearance phase in 119 cases (HBeAg
positive in 15 and negative in 104 cases) and inactive phase
in 14 cases, and BCLC stages were A/B/C in 104/18/11
cases Factors associated with post-carcinogenic survival
in HBV-HCC cases were no seroconversion, ALBI grade 2/3
at HCC diagnosis, beyond up to seven criteria or vascular
invasion/distant metastasis, and non-achievement of cancerfree
during 6 months or more after HCC treatments, AFP
≥ 100 ng/ml or DCP 100 mAU/ml, and HBcrAg ≥ 5.0 at the
final examination, in univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis
revealed that ALBI grade 2/3 (Hazard ratio 12, p=0 052),
non-achievement of cancer-free for more than 6 months (HR
29, p=0.050), and HBcrAg ≥ 5.0 (HR 56, p=0.0043) were
independent factors Conclusion: HBcrAg may be useful
for predicting prognosis after HCC development in Japanese
hepatitis B patients.
