Abstract

Objective: Exploring the clinical value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with serum SCL/TALI breakpoint (STIL) and clusterin in the assessment of efficacy after primary liver cancer intervention. Methods: Eighty patients with primary liver cancer who underwent hepatic artery chemoembolization from June 2020 to June 2023 were selected, and digital silhouette angiography was used as the “ gold standard” for evaluating the efficacy of the patients after intervention, and they were divided into the recurrence group (57 cases) and the non-recurrence group (23 cases). We compared the levels of serum STIL and Clusterin between the two groups, used ROC curve to analyze the value of serum STIL and Clusterin in the assessment of post-interventional efficacy of primary liver cancer, analyzed the results of MRI, and analyzed the assessment of postoperative efficacy of patients by MRI combined with serum STIL and Clusterin using the four-compartmental table method. Results: Serum STIL and Clusterin levels were higher in the recurrence group than in the non-recurrence group (P<0.05). The AUCs of serum STIL and Clusterin for the assessment of the efficacy of primary hepatocellular carcinoma after intervention were 0.738 and 0.744, respectively, and the optimal cutoff values were 36.32 ng/mL and 85.25 μg/mL, respectively. The results of the MRI examination showed that primary hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence after intervention in 45 cases and no recurrence in 35 cases; the sensitivity o25f MRI in assessing the efficacy of primary liver cancer after intervention was 70.18%, the specificity was 78.26%, and the accuracy was 72.50%. The accuracy of MRI combined with serum STIL and Clusterin in assessing the efficacy of primary liver cancer after intervention was 90.00%, the sensitivity was 94.74%, the specificity was 78.26%, and the accuracy and sensitivity of the three combined for the assessment of post-interventional efficacy of primary hepatocellular carcinoma were significantly higher than those of each index alone (P<0.05). Conclusion: Serum STIL and Clusterin levels were significantly up-regulated in patients with recurrence after primary hepatocellular carcinoma intervention, and MRI combined with serum STIL and Clusterin is of high value in assessing the efficacy of primary hepatocellular carcinoma after intervention.
