Abstract

Background: Intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a very heterogeneous disease. The first line treatment for this group is transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), however, in clinical practice, not all patients are suitable for TACE. We aim to evaluate current treatment practice and outcome of patients with intermediate-stage HCC.Methods: HCC patients database from 2013 to 2016 in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital and Dharmais Cancer Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with intermediate-stage HCC were included in this study.Results: A total of 456 patients were diagnosed with HCC, but only 151 (33.1%) patients with intermediate-stage HCC were included. Men outnumbered women in a ratio of 3:1. The most common etiology for HCC was hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, which accounted for 55% of patients. Fifty-two patients (34.4%) were treated with TACE as first-line treatment. Sixty-seven patients (44%) were given best supportive care due to ineligibility for TACE. Frequency of TACE varied from one to eleven times. Overall median survival was 617 days (1.7 years). One-year survival for patients undergoing TACE and liver resection was 47% and 60%, respectively. We did not compare the survival between any treatment groups because the number of patient in each group is not sufficient to be statistically analyzed.Conclusion: Only 34.4% of patients with intermediate-stage HCC was treated with TACE as first-line treatment. An improvement in the treatment strategy should be done for HCC patients in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Sarcopenia has a notable impact on the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with HCC is relatively high, with studies reporting rates between 39% and 41.7%. A substantial proportion of individuals diagnosed with HCC also exhibit muscle wasting and reduced muscle function. This study aims to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia in Indonesian patients with HCC (based on the Japanese Socuety of Hepatology (JSH) JSH criteria) and to examine its correlation with poor performance status.Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of 85 HCC patients between January and October 2021). The skeletal muscle index at L3 (L3 SMI) was measured on CT scans (applying JSH cut-offs for sarcopenia). Clinical data, including Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, were collected. Bivariate analyses and logistic regression were performed to identify factors associated with sarcopenia.Results: A total of 85 HCC patients (median age: 52 years) were included in the analysis. Sarcopenia was observed in 49.4% of the cohort. Bivariate analysis revealed a statistically significant association between sarcopenia and an ECOG performance status of 2+ (p = 0.003), as well as a MELD-Na score of ≥15 (p = 0.023). In multivariate analysis, poor ECOG-PS remained independently associated with sarcopenia (adjusted OR 4.17; 95% CI 1.50–11.56, p = 0.006).Conclusion: Sarcopenia is highly prevalent among Indonesian HCC patients, and it is strongly associated with poor ECOG performance status.

Abstract

Background: Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) have a poor prognosis, with a 5-year survival rate of only 14%. Early detection and early intervention may improve outcome. Both circulating tumour cells (CTC) and serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) have been suggested as diagnostic biomarkers for metastatic CRC. This study explored the performance of CTC and CEA as a tools for the detection of metastatic colorectal cancer in Indonesia.Methods: This study was conducted from December 2024 to April 2025 on metastatic colorectal cancer patients from three hospitals in Jakarta. CTC was analysed using the gradient density method and flow cytometry. CEA was analysed using chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay.Results: This study recruited 160 patients with colorectal cancer patients of whom, 45% were known to have metastatic colorectal cancer. The median age was 57 (47—66) years and analysis was done at one time point only. The area under the curve (AUC) for CTC, CEA, and the combination of both CTC and CEA in diagnosing metastatic colorectal cancer was 0.579, 0.811, and 0.703, respectively. CTC showed 56.94% sensitivity and 50.00% specificity in detecting metastatic colorectal cancer. Meanwhile, CEA showed higher sensitivity (72.22%) and specificity (72.72%). Combination of both CTC and CEA increased sensitivity to 91.67%, but with a lower specificity of 37.50%. The optimal cut-off for CTC and CEA were 34.5 cells/3 ml and 18.31 ng/ml, respectively.Conclusion: CEA showed a better performance than CTC in diagnosing metastatic colorectal cancer. Combination of CTC and CEA showed promising potential as a valuable surveillance tool for detecting metastasis in colorectal cancers, but not as a primary diagnostic tool.
