Clinical Limitations of Tissue Annexin A2 Level as a Predictor of Postoperative Overall Survival in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second common cause of cancer-related death in Taiwan. Tumor recurrence is frequently observed in HCC patients receiving surgical resection, resulting in unsatisfactory overall survival (OS). Therefore, it is pivotal to identify effective prognostic makers, so t...

description | Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second common cause of cancer-related death in Taiwan. Tumor recurrence is frequently observed in HCC patients receiving surgical resection, resulting in unsatisfactory overall survival (OS). Therefore, it is pivotal to identify effective prognostic makers, so that intensive surveillance or adjuvant treatments can be applied to predictively unfavorable patients. Previous studies indicated that Annexin A2 (ANXA2) was an effective prognostic marker in several cancers, including HCC. However, the prognostic value of ANXA2 in Taiwanese HCC patients remains unclear, where a great proportion of patients had chronic hepatitis B with liver cirrhosis. Here, ANXA2 was highly expressed in HCC tissues compared with para-neoplastic noncancerous tissues. Furthermore, high ANXA2 expression in HCC tissues independently predicted shorter OS. In subgroup analysis, however, ANXA2 expression could not effectively predict OS in the following subgroups: female, age > 65 years old, Child–Pugh classification B, hepatitis B virus surface antigen negative or anti-hepatitis C antibody positive, alcoholism, tumor number >1, presence of micro- or macrovascular invasion, absence of capsule, non-cirrhosis and high alpha-fetoprotein. In conclusion, ANXA2 expression in HCC tissues could predict postoperative OS. However, the predictive value was limited in patients with specific clinical conditions. |
