摘要
Liver transplantation (LT) is a good therapeutic decision, cures hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and promotes survival of cases with unrespectable HCC based on the Milan criteria. HCC still recur after LT. Identifying high risk tissue markers that predict recurrence becomes important for LT decision-making. Little is known regarding use of tissue expression of epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) to predict HCC recurrence. This study investigates the role of EpCAM, Ki67, and endothelial-cell-specific molecule-1 (ESM1) as immunohistochemical markers to predict HCC recurrence after LT. It included 52 explanted HCC tissues from Egyptian patients who had undergone LT for HCC according to Milan criteria. Immunohistochemical staining was done on paraffin-embedded formalin-fixed tissue sections. HCC recurrence occurred in 13.5% cases. Positive EpCAM expression in HCC, was significantly associated with HCC recurrence, ( P =0.011), achieving 71.43% sensitivity, 84.44% specificity and 78.8% accuracy in predicting recurrence. High Ki67 percentage was significantly associated with HCC recurrence, ( P =0.005), achieving 57.14% sensitivity, 86.67% specificity and 82.69% accuracy in predicting HCC recurrence. ESM1 showed significant association with HCC recurrence ( P =0.041), with 71.43% sensitivity, 71.11% specificity and 71.15% accuracy in predicting HCC recurrence. EpCAM score and Ki67 percentage showed positive correlation. In conclusion, it is suggested that large tumor size (≥3 cm), advanced pathologic staging and Ki67 could be stratified as high risk predictors of HCC recurrence after LT. Although higher classes of Child-Turcotte-Pugh classification, high serum alpha-fetoprotein, microvascular invasion, positive EpCAM and ESM1 are stratified as lower risk predictors of HCC recurrence after LT.
