Abstract | Purpose: Recent studies indicated the vital role of platelet in enhancing the survival of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood, thereby stimulating the metastasis of tumors. CTCs have been considered an indicator of early tumor recurrence. Therefore, this study evaluated the prognostic potential of platelet count in predicting the early recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the presence of CTCs. Patients and methods: 127 patients, whose preoperative CTCs were detected, were enrolled in this study. Univariate analysis was performed to identify the significant association of factors with the early recurrence of HCC, followed by multivariate analysis to determine the independent prognostic indicators. The prediction potential was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results: A total of 81 (63.7%) patients showed early HCC recurrence. The platelet count ≥225×10 Conclusion: The high platelet count was an independent factor of early HCC recurrence in the presence of CTCs. The combination of preoperative CTCs and platelet count could effectively predict the early recurrence of HCC. The subgroup analysis also showed similar results. |
