Summary

Hepatic resection can successfully treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in carefully selected patients. Focusing on patients with adequate liver function significantly reduces operative mortality and improves long-term survival rates.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) presents a significant global health challenge.
  • Hepatic resection is a primary curative treatment option for HCC.
  • Patient selection is crucial for optimizing outcomes in HCC surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of hepatic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma.
  • To identify factors influencing survival and mortality after HCC resection.
  • To assess the role of patient selection in HCC surgical management.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 119 patients with HCC undergoing hepatic resection between July 1973 and September 1988.
  • Detailed review of patient demographics, surgical procedures, and postoperative outcomes.

  • Analysis of survival rates based on patient selection criteria, particularly liver reserve function.

    • Main Results:

    • Operative mortality was 9.2% (11/119), with a hospital death rate of 5.9% (7/119).
    • Patients with liver cirrhosis had higher mortality rates.
    • The 5-year actuarial survival rate for discharged patients was 39%, with a maximum survival of over 13 years.

    Conclusions:

    • Hepatic resection is a viable treatment for selected HCC patients.
    • Careful selection based on sufficient liver reserve function is critical for reducing postoperative mortality.
    • Improved patient selection can lead to favorable long-term survival in HCC resection.
