Abstract

Objective

We investigated clinical characteristics and surgical outcome of hepatocellular carcinoma in association with hepatitis viral status.

Summary Background Data

No consensus exists concerning differences in surgical outcome in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma according to viral hepatitis status, especially those negative for hepatitis B virus surface antigen and antibody to hepatitis C virus.

Methods

Clinicopathologic data were available for 39 hepatectomy patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who were negative for hepatitis B virus surface antigen and hepatitis C virus antibody. Clinical characteristics and surgical outcome were analyzed retrospectively and compared to those patients with positive hepatitis viral markers.

Results

Patients negative for viral hepatitis markers were more likely to have large, advanced-stages tumors with relatively well-preserved liver function and had a lower incidence of intrahepatic recurrences (P = 0.009). The intrahepatic recurrence rate reached a plateau at approximately 3 years after resection in patients with negative viral markers, while it continued to increase steadily in patients positive for viral hepatitis markers. By multivariable analysis, the absence of viral hepatitis markers predicted a decreased rate of intrahepatic recurrence (relative risk, 0.222; P = 0.001).

Conclusions

Adequate surgical resection in hepatocellular carcinoma patients negative for viral markers offers a good survival benefit, regardless of the etiology of the hepatocellular carcinoma.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
