    Hepatic resection is crucial for primary liver cancer. Early detection and surgical removal of small hepatocellular carcinoma, especially with cirrhosis, significantly improve patient survival rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatobiliary Surgery
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Primary liver malignancies pose significant challenges in patient management.
    • Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) often occurs in the context of underlying cirrhosis.
    • Surgical intervention, including hepatic resection, is a primary treatment modality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the outcomes of hepatic resection for primary liver malignancies over a 21-year period.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of surgical management for hepatocellular carcinoma and other liver tumors.
    • To identify factors influencing survival after liver resection.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 92 patients with primary liver malignancy who underwent hepatic resection.

  • Categorization of patients based on tumor type (HCC vs. other malignancies) and tumor size.
  • Assessment of resectability rates, operative mortality, and long-term survival.

    • Main Results:

    • 49 patients (53%) underwent hepatic resection; resectability was 52% for HCC and 60% for other tumors.
    • Operative mortality was 15% for HCC and 0% for other malignancies.
    • One-year survival was 55% overall, 87% for curative HCC resection (tumors <5cm), and 78% for other malignancies.

    Conclusions:

    • Hepatic resection is vital for managing primary liver malignancies, particularly small HCC in cirrhotic patients.
    • Surgical intervention offers improved survival for patients with HCC and other malignant liver tumors.
    • Early detection and resection of small HCC tumors (<5cm) are associated with better prognoses.
