    Surgery can successfully treat small liver cancers in cirrhotic patients. Early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma is best achieved through serial alpha-feto-protein (AFP) measurements, with angiography useful for high-risk groups.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Liver cancer diagnosis in cirrhotic patients often involves small, difficult-to-detect lesions.
    • Early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is crucial for effective treatment in patients with liver cirrhosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of surgical treatment for small liver cancers in cirrhotic patients.
    • To compare the sensitivity of various diagnostic procedures for detecting small hepatic lesions.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of eight cirrhotic patients with liver cancer (<2 cm) treated surgically.
    • Assessment of diagnostic sensitivities: alpha-feto-protein (AFP), radionuclide scanning, CT, ultrasonography, and angiography.

    Main Results:

    • All eight patients with small liver cancers (<2 cm) underwent successful surgical treatment.
    • Diagnostic sensitivities varied: angiography (88%), AFP (75%), ultrasonography (40%), CT (33%), radionuclide scanning (25%).
    • Serial AFP measurement showed high utility for early HCC detection in cirrhotic patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical resection is a viable option for small hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic patients with adequate clinical status and liver reserve.
    • While hepatic imaging has limitations for small tumors, angiography is valuable for detecting small cancers in high-risk individuals.
    • Serial AFP monitoring is recommended for early HCC detection in cirrhotic patients.
