ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has recently been improved by the advancement in the early detection of HCC. Among the various treatment modalities, the surgical resection has been considered as the most effective for small HCC, and the clinical course of patients with small HCC who underwent curative resection is known to be dependent on the etiology of HCC. Since the differences in the etiology of HCC depend on the different geographical area, it is necessary to verify the clinical outcomes and their affecting factors in patients with small HCC after curative resection in Korea, one of the hepatitis- B-virus(HBU)-endemic areas.METHODS:
A total of 89 patients with small HCC (or=50 years old), Child's classification and vascular invasion were factors affecting the rate of recurrence.CONCLUSION:
These results verify that the clinical outcomes of patients with small HCC after curative resection in Korea are similar to those of patients with different etiology of HCC in other geographic areas. To improve the prognosis of patients with small HCC after curative resection, strict preoperative evaluation of the presence of vascular invasion and postoperative preservation of liver function are necessary as well as the close postoperative follow-up for the early detection of recurrence.
