| Abstract [eng] |
Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common primary liver cancer. It is the fifth most common neoplasm and the third most common cause of cancer-related death in the world. Over the last decade the incidence of this cancer has been rising in the United States of America and in Europe as well as in Lithuania. The incidence of this cancer in the next two decades is expected to rise. Hepatocelullar carcinoma is a difficult and heterogenic disease. Therefore, prognostic scores are being created to help clinicians to choose the best treatment for the patient. The aim of this review is to select and describe the most widely used prognostic systems of hepatocellular carcinoma, to compare results of their usage, applicability and to choose the most suitable scoring systems for the further use in Lithuania. Methods The PubMed data base was used to search for the keywords: “hepatocellular carcinoma”, “prognostic scores” and “staging systems”. 205 published articles were found from the year 1984 though 2007; 54 articles with 24 prognostic systems were selected. Results Upon analysing the prognostic systems, it was decided to reject the scoring systems that are impossible to use in Lithuania because of the absence of related tests. In total, nine prognostic systems were overviewed. Conclusion A retrospective cohort study is advisable to ascertain which prognostic system of hepatocellular carcinoma is most suitable for Lithuanian population. |
