编者按:“中华医学会肝病学分会2016年全国肝病学术年会暨中华医学会肝病学分会青年委员会第三届青年论坛暨第六届中国-印度尼西亚联合肝病峰会”召开期间,来自印度尼西亚大学的L.A.Lesmana教授在全体大会上介绍了“HCC in Jakarta(Indonesia Liver Cancer Study Group)”,并于会后就印度尼西亚肝癌发病情况及脂肪肝对肝癌的影响话题,接受了《国际肝病》的专访。
《国际肝病》:在印度尼西亚,影响肝癌发生的相关疾病有哪些?
: As is known to all, a variety of chronic liver disease can induce hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), so what is the primary cause of HCC currently in Indonesia?
Prof. Lesnama:I think it is the hepatitis in Indonesia regarding the cause, I think the most cause is HBV, and followed by HCV, but currently, we are also data those patients with fatty liver can also develop with hepatocellular carcinoma. And furthermore, also other conditions like diabetes mellitus, I mean, also develop hepatocellular cancer. So I think, several factors now, in Indonesia, that will develop in some patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, not only by viral hepatitis B and C virus infection but also if they are have a fatty liver, and also diabetes mellitus, also some autoimmune diseases which can induce hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
《国际肝病》:在印度尼西亚,非酒精性脂肪性肝病(NAFLD)的发病情况如何?
: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease have been more and more taken seriously in recent years, excuse me, professor, could you talk about the prevalence of NAFLD in Indonesia?What is the relationship between NAFLD and cirrhosis and HCC ?
Prof. Lesnama: As I mentioned, based on our data from Jakarta, many patients with NAFLD can also develop HCC so we have a lot of patients with HCC primarily related to NAFLD and not to hepatitis B and C. Nowadays, the incidence of NAFLD is increasing in Indonesia. For instance, in one hospital in Jakarta, we found that around 50% of patients who came in for a routine checkup had fatty liver. Consequently, we have been developing a program to reduce the incidence of fatty liver. It will not be easy, but I think now we know that NAFLD progresses to liver cirrhosis and then on to HCC, it is important. In terms of follow-up of diagnosis, we use FibroScan, for instance, to see if patients with fatty liver are showing inflammation of the liver and even liver cirrhosis. NAFLD has become a very big problem in our country and it is our duty to the community, hand-in-hand with the government, to reduce the prevalence of NAFLD in Indonesia.
