[Resection of small primary liver cancer: clinical analysis of 82 cases]
1Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, General Hospital of People's Liberation Army, Beijing 100853.
Objective:
To determine which clinicopathologic features and surgical modalities are related to the prognosis of small primary liver cancer (SPLC).
Method:
Eighty-two patients who had under gone operations for SPLC (
Result:
The overall operative mortality was 1.2%, and the 1-, 3-, 5-year survival rates were 92.7%, 72.5% and 54.3%, respectively. The 5-year survival rates of 78 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma according to histologic features were 79.6%, 49.9% and 41.1% in well-differentiated (15 patients), moderately (53), and poorly differentiated (10) groups. Recurrence and metastasis rates in 1, 3, 5 years were 12.8%, 40.7% and 71.5%, separately.
Conclusion:
SPLC has the same history of large PLC. Early diagnosis and limited hepatic resection are very important to decrease the mortality and increase the survival rate.
