摘要
Background. It is well known that the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) correlates with progression of liver fibrosis. However, there is little information on the impact of aging on hepatocarcinogenesis. The aim of this study was to elucidate the clinicopathological features of elderly patients with HCV-related HCC. Methods. The study subjects were 693 consecutive patients newly diagnosed with HCC with anti-HCV. First, we divided them into a younger group (< 70 years) and an elderly group (>= 70 years) and compared clinicopathological features between the two groups. Next, we selected pure HCV- related HCC patients by excluding the patients with other probable factors for hepatocarcinogenesis (anti-HBc, interferon therapy, and alcohol) and compared the two groups again. Results. Higher platelet count, lower male/female ratio, lower rate of habitual alcohol consumption, and better Child-Pugh class were recognized in the elderly group thant the younger group, statistically. In 133 cases of hepatic resection, fibrosis stage was lower in the elderly than the younger group. After selection of pure HCV- related HCC patients, in a stepwise multi variate analysis, male sex and platelet count <10 x 10(4)/mm(3) were significant variables associated with age <70. Regarding the latency period to HCC development, the patients who received a blood transfusion at an older age developed HCC sooner despite their lower grade of fibrosis. Conclusions. The elderly patients developed HCC more often, despite their lower grade of fibrosis, compared with the younger patients. In addition to fibrosis, aging could be a factor affecting HCV-related hepatocarcinogenesis.
