Abstract:

Objective

To assess the impact of extrahepatic primary malignancy (EHPM) on survival of patients with multiple primary malignancies (MPM) involving hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Methods

All studies published including survival comparison between MPM involving HCC and HCC-alone were systematically reviewed. The studies were evaluated strictly and adopted in rash quality by means of Meta analysis. The odds ratio (OR) for death during the time to follow-up between the patients with MPM involving HCC and HCC-alone were calculated. And the effect of EHPM for survival in patients with MPM involving HCC was evaluated.

Results

Totally six studies including 2 431 cases were analyzed. The cumulative cases in MPM involving HCC group were 207, in which 136 were dead, while in HCC-alone group were 2 224 and 1 598 respectively. The pooled OR was 0.93, with a 95% confidence interval (0.67,1.28).

Conclusions

The overall OR for death is neither decreased nor increased in patients with EHPM. MPM involving HCC does not imply a worse prognosis and those patients should not be excluded from curative therapies. We need to prioritize curative treatment intention for HCC independently of the EHPM.
