Prognostic factors in patients with hematological malignancies and concomitant chronic hepatitis C

The study evaluated the impact of HCV infection on the prognosis in patients with hematological malignancies. A total of 96 patients with anti-HCV antibodies were enrolled, with the age of 37.8 (3.0-81.0) years old, 39.6% had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) was diagnosed in 46.9% patients prior to malignancy development, in 38.5% patients simultaneously with malignancy, and in 14.6% patients during malignancy treatment. Clinical and biochemical signs of HCH were mild in most of the patients, minimal liver fibrosis (F0-1 by METAVIR system) was discovered in 47.3% patients, severe fibrosis or cirrhosis (F3-4) was diagnosed in 40% of participants. Only 20 (20.8%) of patients received antiviral therapy against HCV prior to enrollment. Regression analysis demonstrated that age >55 years old, late onset of antiviral therapy, and poor nutritional status were significant predictors of death from hematological malignancy. Survey conducted among physicians of hematological oncology hospitals in Saint-Petersburg revealed gaps in knowledge on presentation and risks of HCV infection, as well as on opportunities of modern antiviral therapy.
