Resumen
MACHICADO, Claudia et al. Clinicopathological profile of patients with hepatobiliary cancers at two main referral hospitals in Lima, Peru. Rev. gastroenterol. Perú [online]. 2022, vol.42, n.1, pp.25-32. Epub 01-Jul-2022. ISSN 1022-5129. http://dx.doi.org/10.47892/rgp.2022.421.1380.
Objective:
The aim of the study was to describe the clinicopathological profile of patients diagnosed with liver, bile ducts or gallbladder cancer.
Materials and methods:
Between 2006 and 2017, 89 patients (57% female; mean age: 62 years-old) with these cancers were diagnosed at two national hospitals in Lima, Peru.
Results:
Most patients (64%) had advanced stages of disease. Anemia was more frequent in patients with bile duct and liver cancer and in advanced stages. Hypertension (HTN) was frequent among liver cancer patients (32%). The analysis by age showed that HTN was more frequent in patients over 50 years. Likewise, people under 50 years had more frequent history of previous infections (50%), Hepatitis B (HBV) being the most common.
Conclusions:
This study describes the baseline clinicopathological characteristics of a malignancy poorly studied in Peru.
