This study aimed to determine the associations between CA19-9/GGT levels and postoperative neoplasm recurrence and long-term outcome of DCC patients. The high CA19-9/GGT ratio group showed higher CA19-9 levels and lymphatic metastasis rate compared to the low-ratio group, indicating a correlation with poor clinical outcomes. Multivariate analysis identified CA19-9/GGT, lymphatic metastasis, and tumor differentiation as independent risk factors for tumor recurrence and long-term prognosis of DCC.
BACKGROUND Distal cholangiocarcinoma (DCC) presents as one of the relatively rare malignant tumors in the digestive system and has a poor long-term prognosis. Curative resection is currently the most appropriate therapy for patients with DCC because of the lack of effective adjuvant therapies. Therefore, it is important to accurately predict the prognosis for formulating a reasonable treatment plan and avoiding unnecessary surgical trauma. AIM To minimize the interference of obstructive jaundice on carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) level by adapting CA19-9 to gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) as an indicator, to determine the strong associations between CA19-9/GGT and postoperative neoplasm recurrence and long-term outcome of DCC. METHODS We enrolled 186 patients who were diagnosed with DCC between January 2010 and December 2019 and performed radical excision with strict criteria as follows in our hospital. Receiver operating characteristic curves were drawn according to preoperative CA19-9/GGT and 1-year survival. Based on this, patients were divided into two groups (group 1, low-ratio, n = 81; group 2, high-ratio, n = 105). Afterwards, by the way of univariate and multivariate analysis, the risk factors influencing postoperative tumor recrudesce and long-term prognosis of patients with DCC were screened out. RESULTS Optimum cut-off value of CA19-9/GGT was 0.12. Patients in group 2 represented higher CA19-9 and lymphatic metastasis rate accompanied by lower GGT, when compared with group 1 (P < 0.05). The 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival rates of patients in groups 1 and 2 were 88.3%, 59.2% and 48.1%, and 61.0%, 13.6% and 13.6%, respectively (P = 0.000). Multivariate analysis indicated that CA19-9/GGT, lymphatic metastasis and tumor differentiation were independent risk factors for tumor recurrence and long-term prognosis of DCC. CONCLUSION Elevation of CA19-9/GGT performed better as a biomarker of aggressive carcinoma and predictor of poor clinical outcomes by reducing the effect of obstruction of biliary tract on CA19-9 concentration in patients with DCC.
