Multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment of postoperative recurrence of hepatocellular carcinom / 中国实用外科杂志

ABSTRACT

The treatment modality of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) includes surgical resection, liver transplantation, ablation, interventional therapy, targeted therapy,and systemic chemotherapy. However,the complexity of disease condition often leads to unsatisfying outcome by single treatment, making multidisciplinary treatment an inevitable choice. Commonly used combined therapies are transarterial chemoembolization(TACE) combined with surgical resection,TACE combined with local ablation,and TACE combined with systemic treatment. In clinical practice,the goal of comprehensive treatment is prolonged survival and improved quality of life. Choosing different combination of therapies according to different liver function,general condition and recurrence of tumors can significantly improve the patients' survival.
