Popis: | Non-B non-C hepatocellular carcinomas (NBNC-HCCs) are larger than hepatitis virus-related HCCs. We conducted a clinicopathological study of patients who underwent curative NBNC-HCC resection, including proliferative activity assessments, such as nuclear grade and Ki-67 labelling index (LI).Histopathological findings of 197 patients were examined, including 56 NBNC-HCCs, 45 hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related HCCs (HBV-HCC), and 96 hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related HCCs (HCV-HCC).NBNC-HCCs were significantly larger than HCV-HCCs, but not significantly different from HBV-HCCs. Mitotic counts, nuclear grade, and Ki-67 LI of NBNC-HCCs were not significantly different from those of HCV-HCCs, but were significantly lower than those of HBV-HCCs. Recurrence-free survival was significantly better in the NBNC-HCC group than in the HBV-HCC group in cases with mild liver fibrosis.NBNC-HCCs were significantly larger in diameter, but their nuclear grade or Ki-67 LI were not significantly different from those of other HCCs, suggesting that they do not have a higher proliferative activity. |
