  1. Primary Liver Cancer: Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Cholangiocarinoma Patrick M. Horne, MSN, ARNP, FNP-BC Assistant Director of Hepatology Clinical Research Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition University of Florida Health

  2. Disclosures • Financial relationships to disclose within the past 12 months: • Grant support with Bayer/Onyx

  3. Objectives • Discuss the diagnosis and management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarinoma • Review current screening and staging of both HCC and cholangiocarinoma • Selection of the optimal, evidence-based surgical and nonsurgical treatment modalities • Review current treatment options

  4. Background of HCC • World wide • 6th most common cancer – 748,271 new cases per year • 3rd leading cause of cancer-related mortality – 695,843 deaths per year • US incidence has tripled over the last three decades • Estimated new cases: >20,000 new cases annually • Fastest Growing Death Rate in the US • Dismal 5-year survival 10% • 80%-90% of HCC cases occur in cirrhotic livers • Leading cause of death in cirrhosis Globocan 2008.

  9. Groups for Whom HCC Surveillance is Recommended AASLD Practice Guidelines • Cirrhosis • Viral hepatitis – HCV, HBV • Non-alcoholic fatty liver/non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NAFLD/NASH) • Alcohol and other • Hepatitis B carriers • Asian males over 40 yrs • Asian females over 50 yrs • All cirrhotic hepatitis B carriers • Positive family history of HC • Non-cirrhotic HBV carriers with high HBV DNA levels or more severe current/past levels of inflammatory activity AASLD=American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases; HBV=hepatitis B virus. Practice guidelines page. AASLD website. Available at: http://www.aasld.org/practiceguidelines.

  10. Current Recommendation for Surveillance • AASLD practice guidelines • Ultrasound every 6 months • Goal • Detect early tumor and improve survival • AFP • Normal in 40% of patients with HCC • Inadequate sensitivity and specificity in the diagnostic range – normal in small HCC • Values >200 ng/mL high PPV in cirrhotic patients with a mass El Serag. Gastroenterology. 2008;134:1752; Practice guidelines page. AASLD website. Available at: http://www.aasld.org/practiceguidelines. Accessed 10/12/11; Sheu. Gastroenterology. 1985;89:259.

  11. Case #1 • 67 year old white male with HBV cirrhosis on antiviral therapy with good viral control. • Abnormal US on surveillance. • AFP = 5. • Cirrhotic liver, stigmata of portal hypertension. Single 2.5 cm arterially enhancing lesion in the left lobe of the liver.

  12. Diagnostic Algorithm for HCC in Cirrhosis New Liver Nodule on US <1 cm >1 cm Repeat US at 3 months 4-phase MDCT / dynamic contrast enhanced MRI Arterial hypervascularity AND venous or delayed phase washout Stable Growing/changing character Other contrast enhanced study (CT or MRI) No Yes Investigate according to size HCC Arterial hypervascularity AND venous or delayed phase washout Biopsy Adapted from Bruix J, Sherman M. Hepatology July, 2010. Available at http://www.aasld.org/practiceguidelines/Pages/NewUpdatedGuidelines.aspx. Accessed 08/03/10. No Yes

  16. Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) Predicts Severity of Liver Disease • Predicts severity of liver disease and cirrhosis-related mortality (3 month survival) • Used in allocation of organs for transplant • Originally designed to predict survival after TIPS procedure • Mortality by MELD score • 10-19: 8% • 20-29: 24% • 30-39: 60% • >40: 81% Weisner RE et a.

  18. BCLC Staging System and Treatment Allocation

  19. Surgery: Liver Transplantation Liver Resection Ablation: Percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) Radiofrequency (RFA) Transarterial: Chemoembolization 90Y microspheres Systemic Therapies: Sorafenib Clinical Trials What is the best treatment option for this patient? CURATIVE Palliative

  20. Liver Transplantation for HCC: Milan Criteria • 5-yr survival with transplantation: ~ 70% • 5-yr recurrent rates: < 15% Single tumor, <5 cm Up to 3 tumors, all <3 cm Absence of macroscopic vascular invasion and extra-hepatic spread Mazzaferro V, et al. N Engl J Med. 1996;334:693-699. Llovet JM. J GastroenterolHepatol. 2002;17(suppl 3):S428-S433.

  21. Patient Survival of HCV LT recipientswith HCC and without HCC Cabrera R et al. American Journal of Clinical Oncology. 2012 Aug;35(4):345-50.

  22. Candidates for RFA and PEI • Includes individuals who are not candidates for surgery – resection or transplantation • Radiofrequency ablation generally preferred over percutaneous ethanol injection • Necrotic effect more predictable across tumor sizes • Meta-analyses (4 RCTs) suggest better local control and survival benefit with RFA vs PEI Bruix J, et al. AASLD HCC Guidelines. July 2010.

  23. New Trends in Local Ablation • Microwave ablation • Irreversible electroporation • Intravenous heat-sensitive liposomal doxorubicin in combination with RFA • Combination chemoembolization and RFA

  24. Case #2 • 70 year old white male with HCV cirrhosis noted with abnormal ultrasound. • AFP =11. • Cirrhotic liver multiple arterially enhancing lesions in the right and left hepatic lobes. 2 large enhancing lesion in the superior right hepatic lobe which measure 5.6 x 4.9 cm and 5.7 x 5.6 cm.

  25. Randomized Study of Conventional TACE vs DEB TACE Lammer J, et al. CardiovascInterventRadiol. 2010;33:41-52.

  26. Contraindications to TACE • Extrahepatic tumor spread • Lack of portal blood flow • Portal vein thrombosis, portosystemic anastomoses or hepatofugal flow • Advanced liver disease (Child-Pugh Class B or C) • Clinical symptoms of end-stage cancer

  27. Radioembolization Using Yttrium-90 Single institution cohort study • Endpoints: Response rate,* TTP,* survival, toxicity • 273/291 (94%) of patients had follow-up imaging • 58% Downstaged, 32 transplanted • Response rate 42% (WHO) and 57% (EASL) • No GI ulcers Salem R et al. Gastroenterology. 2010;138(1):52-64.

  28. New Trends in Loco-Regional Therapy • Doxorubicin-eluting beads • Quadraspheres • Combination TACE or Y90 with sorafenib • SBRT and Proton beam therapy

  29. Case #3 • 47 year old white male with HCV cirrhosis undergoes a screening abdominal ultrasound. • Ultrasound reveals multiple liver masses. • Innumerable bilobar arterial enhancing lesions and vascular invasion. AFP >50,000. consistent with diffuse HCC

  35. Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) • Background: • Arises from the epithelial cells of the bile ducts. • Rare in the United States.

  36. Worldwide prevalence Bridgewater J J. of Hepatology2014

  37. Cholangiocarcinoma

  38. Risk Factors for Cholangiocarcinoma • Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) • Almost 30% of cholangiocarcinoma case are in the setting of PSC. • Annual incidence is between 0.6-1.5%. • Lifetime risk is 10-15%. • Fibropolycystic liver disease • Parasitic infection • Viral hepatitis • Though much lower than risk for HCC Burka K. Am J Gastroenoterology 2004

  39. Incidence of Cholangiocarcinoma Cumulative incidence of Years since PSC diagnosis Courtesy of Dr. Keith Linder, MD., ASU

  40. AASLD guidelines • Risk factors for developing CCA • Elevated serum bilirubin • Variceal bleeding • Proctocolectomy • Chronic UC with colorectal cancer or dysplasia. Practice guidelines page. AASLD website. Available at: http://www.aasld.org/practiceguidelines.

  41. Biliary strictures • Signs and symptoms: • Jaundice, pruritis, abdominal pain, fever, weight loss • Cholangitis is unusual. • Tumor markers? • CEA • CA 19-9

  42. Biliary Strictures

  43. Imaging diagnosis of CCA • Challenging to say the least • Ultrasound • CT scan • MRI with MRCP • ERCP with brushing • No clear guidelines as to best modality to use or frequency

  44. Practice guidelines page. AASLD website. Available at: http://www.aasld.org/practiceguidelines.

  45. Case 1 • 50 year old male with known history of PSC undergoes routine ultrasound screening. Follow up MRCP

  46. Treatment options • Criteria for surgical resection: • Absence of retropancreatic and paraceliac nodal metatases or distant liver metastases • Absence of invasion of portal vein or main hepatic artery • Absence of extrahepatic adjacent organ invasion • Absence of disseminated disease • Ultimately, candidacy for resection is determined at surgery! Tsao JI et al Ann Surg. 2000 Su CH et al Ann. Surg. 1996

  47. Distal Extrahepaticcholangiocarcinoma • Considered having the highest rate of resection. • Role of adjunct therapy post resection, commonly recommended but lack of data determining if true benefit.

  48. Case 2 • 60 year old female presents to the local Emergency Department with sudden onset painless jaundice

  49. Bridgewater J J. of Hepatology 2004

  50. Role of Radiotherapy with or without chemoradiotherapy • Approaches include external beam irradiation (ERBT) alone or… • In combination with chemoradiotherapy • Most commonly used: • 5-FU • Gemcitabine • Cisplatin • oxaliplatin
