Abstract There is limited research on the clinicopathological characteristics of combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CCA) currently. The aim of this study is to summerize the clinicopathological factors and prognosis of cHCC-CCA, which could help us understand this disease. 72 cases of cHCC-CCA from West China Hospital of Sichuan University were collected. Tissue components were reviewed by pathologists. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the status of mismatch repair (MMR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in cHCC-CCA, as well as the quantity and distribution of CD3+ T cells and CD8+ T cells. Fluorescence in situ hybridization was used to detect fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) gene alteration. COX univariate and multivariate analyses were used to evaluate risk factors, and survival curves were plotted. 49 cases were classified as classic type cHCC-CCA and 23 cases as intermediate cell carcinoma. The cut-off value for diagnosing classic type was determined to be ≥ 30% for the cholangiocarcinoma component based on prognostic calculations. All tumors were MMR proficient. The rate of strong HER2 protein expression (3+) was 8.3%, and the frequency of FGFR2 gene alteration was 26.4%. CD3+ T cells and CD8+ T cells were mainly distributed at the tumor margin, and were protective factors for patients with cHCC-CCA. The overall survival of the 72 patients was 18.9 months, with a median survival of 12 months. Tumor size, TNM stage, and serum AFP level were prognostic factors for cHCC-CCA. The proportion of cholangiocarcinoma component reaching the threshold of 30%, may provide a reference for future pathology diagnosis. FGFR2 gene alteration was 26.4%, providing a clue for anti-FGFR2 therapy. However, more data is needed for further verification. |
