HAI and/or PVI after radical resection of primary hepatic carcinoma for preventing tumor recurrence / 中国普通外科杂志

Objective　To study the effect of HAI and/or PVI after radical resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) for preventing recurrence.Methods　From Jun. 1995 to Apr. 2000, 49 patients with HCC were undergone radical tumor resection. They were divided into 4 group: the treatment combined with HAI and PVI was given in group I(12 cases), HAV alone in group II (8 cases); PVI alone in group III (15 cases); nothing in group IV (14 cases). All patients were followed up for 6 months to 5 years. Results　Recurrence rate at one year didn't show significantly lower in group I, II and III than that in grou IV. Survival rate in one year showed no significant difference in 4 groups. Recurrence rate in three years was significantly lower in group I and II than that in group IV. Survival rate in three years was significantly higher in group I and II than that in group IV. Recurrence rate and survival rate in five years showed no significante difference in four groups. Conclusions　The treatment of radical resection of HCC combined with HAI and/or PVI is simple and safe. It is an useful method for preventing tumor recurrence.
