Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between preoperative serum transferrin level and long-term outcomes in patients with colorectal liver metastases after hepatic resection. Methods: We retrospectively investigated 72 patients who underwent hepatic resection for colorectal liver metastases and explored the relationship between serum transferrin level and long-term outcomes. Results: In multivariate analysis, H3 (odds ratio 3.43, 95% confidence interval 1.11-10.89 and P = 0.03) was an independent and significant predictor of the disease-free survival, and a transferrin level ≥ 190 mg/dl (odds ratio 0.20, 95% confidence interval 0.05-0.79 and P = 0.02) and the time to recurrence after hepatectomy <1 year (odds ratio 11.30, 95% confidence interval 2.63-48.59 and P < 0.01) were independent and significant predictors of the overall survival. Conclusions: The serum transferrin level is a useful predictor of poor overall survival in patients with colorectal liver metastases after hepatic reaction.
