Low SLC22A7 expression in noncancerous liver promotes hepatocellular carcinoma occurrence - a prospective study

ABSTRACT: Background & Aims: The recurrence determines the postoperative prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It is unknown whether de novo HCCs derive from the liver with disability of an organic anion transport. This study was designed to elucidate the link between such transporters and the multicentric occurrence (MO) after radical hepatectomy. Results: SLC22A7 expression was the best predictor of metastasis-free survival (MFS) as judged by the GA (Fold, 0.726; P=0.001). High SLC22A7 gene expression in noncancerous tissue prevent HCC occurrence after hepatectomy (Odds Ratio (OR), 0.2; 95%CI, 0.1-0.6; P=0.004). Multivariate analyses of MFS revealed the independent risk factor to be SLC22A7 expression (OR, 0.3; 95%CI, 0.1-1.0, P=0.043). Low SLC22A7 expression caused MO of HCC
