The expression of cytokeratin 19 in lymph nodes was a poor prognostic factor for hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatic resection

Abstract: BackgroundThe expression of CK19 in primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is associated with a poor outcome. However, few studies have investigated the expression profile of CK19 in regional lymph nodes (LNs) of HCC after hepatic resection. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the expression of CK19 in primary liver tumor and regional LNs of HCC with and without lymph node metastasis (LNM).MethodsThe expression of CK19 in patients with (n = 16) and without LNM (n = 26) was examined using immunohistochemi… Show more

“…Tumor cells from HCC, as a result, should not express CK19 since they are supposed to originate from hepatocytes (16). However, previous studies also showed that about 10% of HCC with typical microscopic histologic features expressed CK19 (4,6). These CK19(+) HCC was found to behave more aggressively and had a worse outcome (4,(6)(7)(8)17).…”

For example, Takano et al demonstrated that CK19(+) HCC exhibited higher invasiveness, metastatic potential, and poorer prognosis (17).…”
