    Summary

    Second hepatic resection offers a viable treatment for recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This approach shows improved survival rates compared to palliative methods for liver cancer patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatobiliary Surgery
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Hepatocellular Carcinoma Research

    Background:

    • Radical hepatic resection is a primary treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
    • Tumor recurrence in the liver remnant occurs in a significant portion of HCC patients post-resection.
    • Identifying effective salvage treatments for recurrent HCC is crucial.

    Observation:

    • A cohort of 31 patients experienced tumor recurrence after initial HCC resection.
    • Nine patients underwent a second hepatic resection for recurrent disease.
    • These patients ranged from 39-65 years old, with most having underlying liver cirrhosis.

    Findings:

    • Six of the nine patients who had a second resection are alive, with four disease-free, at 15-45 months post-operation.

  • The survival rate for patients undergoing second hepatic resection was significantly better than those receiving palliative care.
  • Two patients succumbed to systemic cancer spread, and one died of hepatic failure after a third surgery.

    • Implications:

    • Second hepatic resection is a feasible and beneficial treatment option for selected patients with recurrent HCC in the liver remnant.
    • This strategy may improve long-term outcomes for patients with liver cancer recurrence.
    • Further research can optimize patient selection for repeat liver resections.
