Prognostic Score of Shen et al for a Patient with a Solitary Large Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Description

Shen et al developed a simple prognostic score for a patient with a solitary large hepatocellular carcinoma. This can help to stratify patients based on 5-year survival after hepatectomy. The authors are from West China Hospital and Sichuan University in Chengdu, China.

Patient selection: solitary large hepatocellular carcinoma

Outcome: 5-year survival after hepatectomy

Parameters:

(1) PLR (platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio)

(2) diameter of the tumor in centimeters

(3) microvascular invasion

PLR =

= (platelet count) / (absolute lymphocyte count)

Parameter	Finding	Points
PLR	< 107	0
	>= 107	1
tumor diameter	< 6.8 cm	0
	>= 6.8 cm	1
microvascular invasion	absent	0
	present	1

total score =

= SUM(points for all 3 parameters)

Interpretation:

• minimum score: 0

• maximum score: 3

• The higher the score the worse the prognosis.

Total Score	5-Year Survival
0	52%
1 or 2	33%
3	25%
