Abstract Background The blood coagulation function is often abnormal in HCC patients due to hypercoagulatory state, hyperfibrinolytic state, and increased plasma D-dimer. HCC patients treated with locoregional treatment may show changes of D-dimer levels. Several studies explored the validity of D-dimer levels during locoregional treatment in HCC but definitive data are still lacking. Aim of the Work Determination of the efficacy of D-dimer profile as a prognostic marker regarding tumor features, and post interventional response in HCC subjects undergoing TACE or RFA. Patients and Methods The clinical data of 50HCC patients who underwent TACE or RFA in our hospital from October 2021 to June 2022 were collected, including the CBC, CRP Alfa-fetoproteins and plasma d-dimer level 1 week before TACE or RFA(D0), D-dimer level 1 month (D1) and 4 months(D2) after TACE or RFA. Contrast enhanced CT was performed within 1 week before locoregional treatment and was repeated 1month and 4 months after locoregional treatment to assess for treatment efficacy according to the mRECIST criteria based on change in tumor size as measured by CT scan. One month after TACE or RFA, these patients were divided into four groups according to the mRecist criteria: complete response, partial response, stationary disease and progressive disease. D0, D1 and D2 were compared between the 4 groups and the relation between D-dimer level and the efficacy of locoregional treatment was assessed. Results In patients with negative D-dimer before locoregional treatment (D0), there was no significant difference between D0 and D1 (P > 0.05), while patients with elevated pretreatment D-dimer levels (D0), D1 was significantly higher than D0 (P < 0.05) and the D1 is higher than that in patients with negative Do. Progressive rise of D-dimer levels 4months post locoregional treatment (D2) in HCC was associated with tumor progression suggesting aggressive tumor biology and poor outcome(P = 0.02). Conclusion The changes in plasma D-dimer level can be used as a potential prognostic biomarker in predicting the efficacy of locoregional treatment in HCC patients and thus, elevated D-dimer levels pre and post locoregional treatment may serve as predictors of adverse tumor profile and poor outcome.
