Abstract	Background In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), pulmonary metastasis (PM) after hepatectomy is associated with poor clinical outcomes. The crucial phases of tumour cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and metastasis all entail platelet activation. In HCC, platelet distribution width (PDW) suggests platelet size changes and predicts a worse prognosis. The aim of this study was to assess the association between PDW and PMs in HCC patients receiving hepatectomy. Material/methods From January 2013 to December 2015, a cohort of patients who underwent hepatectomy for HCC at the Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital in China were retrospectively evaluated. The relationship between PDW levels and clinical and demographic parameters was examined. To investigate the relationships between predicted factors and PM, a competing risk model was used. From January 2016 to December 2018, a validation cohort of 109 patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University was studied independently. Results In the primary cohort, 19 out of 214 patients had postoperative PMs. In HCC patients with PM, PDW levels were lower than in those without PM. There was a significant difference in the cumulative incidence of 2-year PM between the high-PDW and low-PDW groups after controlling for competing risk events (death prior to the development of PM) (p < 0.001). In addition, PDW was also found to be an independent predictor for PM in a multivariable competing risk analysis. The results were externally validated in another cohort. Conclusions In HCC, preoperative PDW is significantly associated with PM. PDW could be a biomarker for post-operative PM in HCC patients.
