摘要
Objective: The purpose of the study was to explore the relationship between hepatitis B virus(HBV) infection and hepatic metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods: Four hundred and eighty cases of NSCLC were retrospectively analyzed from January 2003 to January 2010, and the prevalence of hepatic metastasis of NSCLC in patients with and without hepatitis B virus infection were compared. Results: In the HBV carriers' group, the prevalence of synchronous hepatic metastasis and metachronous hepatic metastasis were 13.2% and 5.9%, respectively. Meanwhile in the non-HBV group, those were 21.6% and 9.5% respectively. A significant difference between the two groups was found(P < 0.05). Conclusion: The prevalence of synchronous hepatic metastasis and metachronous hepatic metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer with HBV infection are lower than those in non-HBV infection group. Hepatic metastasis is infrequent in HBV infected cases of NSCLC.
