Hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) often recur after curvative resection. Recurrence in the remnant liver originates from intrahepatic metastasis (IM) from the primary resected tumor, and/or from multicentric (MC) occurrence. In order to achieve better survival after intrahepatic recurrence in HCC patients, we have surgically treated patients according to the recurrence pattern. In this study, we investigated the advantage of repeat surgery for MC recurrent HCC. The subjects were 176 patients who had undergone primary macroscopically complete tumor removal for HCC at our department from 1984 to 1999. Differential diagnosis of IM and MC recurrence was done by pathological analysis. Twenty‐nine of the 149 patients with recurrence (19.5%) underwent a total of 31 second and third operations. Of the 29 patients, 18 had MC (14 received repeat hepatectomy and 4, microwave tissue coagulation [MTC]), 7 had IM (4 had repeat hepatectomy and 3, MTC), and, in 4 patients, pathological investigation failed to determine the mode of recurrence. The 1‐, 3‐, and 5‐year survival rates for MC patients after the repeat operations were 100%, 69.7%, and 58.1%, respectively, and the 1‐, 3‐, and 5‐year survival rates for the IM patients were 57.1%, 14.3%, and 14.3%, respectively. Survival after the repeat operation was significantly better in the MC group than in the IM group (P = 0.0016). Moreover, there was no significant difference between survival in the MC group after a repeat operation and survival in control patients after an initial hepatectomy (P = 0.9282). These results indicated that patients with resectable or ablative recurrent MC HCC have almost the same survival benefit after repeat operations as patients who undergo initial curative resection of HCC.  相似文献

BackgroundLittle evidence exists regarding postrecurrence survival after microwave ablation for recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after curative hepatectomy; we aimed to evaluate the feasibility of surgical microwave ablation.MethodsIn this retrospective review, we enrolled patients who underwent curative hepatectomy for primary HCC in our department and had intrahepatic recurrence. We analyzed overall survival according to treatment modality to clarify the prognostic factors for survival.ResultsOf 257 patients, 119 had intrahepatic recurrence. Three patients underwent repeat hepatectomy; 75 patients underwent surgical microwave ablation, and 34 patients underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization or hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy. The median postrecurrence survival time and 5-year postrecurrence survival after surgical microwave ablation were 37.4 months and 55.4%, respectively. The major complication rate (Clavien–Dindo classification IIIa or above) after surgical microwave ablation was 5.3% with no mortality. Multivariate analysis showed that microvascular invasion at primary tumors, and recurrent tumors within 3 cm and 3 nodules were independent prognostic factors for overall survival after surgical microwave ablation for recurrent HCC.ConclusionOur results suggested that surgical microwave ablation is safe and feasible for recurrent intrahepatic HCC after curative hepatectomy. Close follow-up and further curative treatment could be important for improving postrecurrence survival.  相似文献

BackgroundMicrovascular invasion (MVI) is a risk factor of post-hepatectomy tumor recurrence for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The patterns, treatments, and prognosis have not been documented in HCC patients with MVI.MethodsA multicenter database of patients with HCC and MVI following resection was analyzed. The clinicopathological and initial operative data, timing and first sites of recurrence, recurrence management, and long-term survival outcomes were analyzed.ResultsOf 1517 patients included, the median follow-up was 39.7 months. Tumor recurrence occurred in 928 patients, with 49% within 6 months of hepatectomy and 60% only in the liver. The incidence of intrahepatic only recurrence gradually increased with time after 6 months. Patients who developed recurrence within 6 months of hepatectomy had worse survival outcomes than those who developed recurrence later. Patients who developed intrahepatic only recurrence had better prognosis than those with either extrahepatic only recurrence or those with intra- and extrahepatic recurrence. Repeat resection of recurrence with curative intent resulted in better outcomes than other treatment modalities.ConclusionPost-hepatectomy tumor recurrence in patients with HCC and MVI had unique characteristics and recurrence patterns. Early detection of tumor recurrence and repeat liver resection with curative intent resulted in improved long-term survival outcomes.  相似文献

As a result of donor shortage and high postoperative morbidity and mortality after liver transplantation,hepatectomy is the most widely applicable and reliable option for curative treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Because intrahepatic tumor recurrence is frequent after loco-regional therapy,repeated treatments are advocated provided background liver function is maintained.Among treatments including local ablation and transarterial chemoembolization,hepatectomy provides the best long-term outcomes,but studies comparing hepatectomy with other nonsurgical treatments require careful review for selection bias.In patients with initially unresectable HCC,transarterial chemo-or radio-embolization,and/or systemic chemotherapy can down-stage the tumor and conversion to resectable HCC is achieved in approximately 20%of patients.However,complete response is rare,and salvage hepatectomy is essential to help prolong patients’survival.To counter the short recurrence-free survival,excellent overall survival is obtained by combining and repeating different treatments.It is important to recognize hepatectomy as a complement,rather than a contraindication,to other nonsurgical treatments in a mul-tidisciplinary approach for patients with HCC,including recurrent or unresectable tumors.  相似文献

A nationwide survey conducted by the Liver Cancer Study Group of Japan showed that approximately 85–90% of recurrences of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were in the remnant liver, and that the location of the intrahepatic recurrence was widely distributed throughout the entire liver, with 30–40% of the recurrences on the side opposite the primary tumor, beyond Cantlie's line. In our experience, about 70% of the recurrences were seen within 2 years after surgery, and the survival rate tended to be lower as the period from the primary surgery to the recurrence was shorter. To achieve longer survival in patients with HCC, one of the most important issues is, therefore, how to prevent and control intrahepatic recurrence after surgery. Although, according to the nationwide survey, repeat hepatectomy has been performed in only 1.6% of all patients with intrahepatic recurrence, we have experienced 28 patients with repeat hepatic resection. The 1‐, 3‐, and 5‐year survival rates from the time of re‐resection were 93%, 59%, and 47%, respectively, and survival rates from the time of the initial surgery were 85% at 3 years, 62% at 5 years, and 53% at 8 years. In particular, in patients with a second primary cancer from multicentric carcinogenesis, the 5‐year survival rate after the re‐resection was approximately 80%. These results suggested that repeat hepatectomy should be recommended for selected patients.  相似文献

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Although the risk factors for the development of intrahepatic recurrence after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have been widely studied, little attention has been given to the prognostic factors affecting such patients. METHODOLOGY: Intrahepatic recurrence occurred in 105 (56%) of 188 patients who underwent curative hepatic resection of HCC and were discharged from the hospital. Among them, 17 (16%) also had simultaneous extrahepatic recurrence. Independent prognostic factors were evaluated by multivariate analysis using Cox's proportional hazards model. RESULTS: Multivariate analysis revealed that presence of extrahepatic recurrence, hepatitis B, and non-surgical treatments for recurrence were independent predictors of poor overall survival after initial hepatic resection or after recurrence. Risk factors of extrahepatic recurrence were young age, solitary and large HCC, high hepatitis activity, and large amount of intraoperative blood loss and blood transfusion. CONCLUSIONS: Survival of patients with intrahepatic recurrent HCC after resection should be stratified by the type of recurrence, type of hepatitis, and type of treatment for recurrence.  相似文献

Repeat hepatectomy for recurrent hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer.   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Resection of liver metastases from colorectal cancer is accepted as a safe, and curative treatment. Furthermore, repeat hepatectomy has been indicated for hepatic recurrence after initial hepatectomy to achieve long-term survival or cure. The present study is a retrospective review of our results using repeat hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases to identify outcomes and prognostic factors associated with long-term survival. METHODOLOGY: Ninety-four patients underwent an initial hepatectomy for colorectal metastases between 1990 and 1995. Thirty patients had hepatic recurrence after the initial hepatectomy. Eleven patients underwent repeat hepatectomy for isolated hepatic recurrence. RESULTS: The operative mortality was 0%. The overall 5-year survival rate after detection of second liver metastases of 11 patients was 45.5%. The distribution of first liver metastases and disease-free interval between the first and second hepatectomy demonstrated significance in relation to survival after repeat hepatectomy (P = 0.0303 and 0.0338). CONCLUSIONS: Repeat hepatectomy for recurrent liver metastases from colorectal cancer was the most effective treatment to improve survival time for selected patients. In patients with isolated second liver metastasis, unilateral spread of first liver metastases, and a disease-free interval between the first and second hepatectomies of more than 12 months, long-term survival or cure can be expected after repeat hepatectomy.  相似文献

Aim:  To assess the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) combined with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatectomy and to compare its outcome with a single modality.
Method:  We retrospectively studied 103 patients with recurrent HCCs after hepatectomy who were excluded from repeat hepatectomy. Of them, 81 patients were male and 22 were female (mean age 55.8 ± 10.7 years; range, 30–80 years). According to treatment modality, these patients were divided into three groups: RFA was used as the sole first-line anticancer treatment in 37 patients (RFA group); TACE was used as the sole first-line anticancer treatment in 35 patients (TACE group). RFA followed by TACE was performed in 31 patients (combination group). There was no significant difference in clinical material between the three groups. Indices including treatment success rate, intrahepatic recurrence rate and survival were obtained for analysis and comparison.
Results:  The treatment success rate of the combination group was significantly higher than that of the TACE group (93.5 vs. 68.6%, P  = 0.011). The intrahepatic recurrence rate of the combination group was significantly lower than that of the TACE group (20.7 vs 57.1%, P  = 0.002) and the RFA group (20.7 vs 43.2%, P  = 0.036). The overall 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 73.9, 51.1 and 28.0% respectively in the RFA group; 65.8, 38.9 and 19.5% respectively in the TACE group; and 88.5, 64.6 and 44.3% respectively in the combination group. There was a significant difference in survival between the combination group and the TACE group ( P  = 0.028).
Conclusion:  RFA combined with TACE was more effective in treating recurrent HCC after hepatectomy compared to single RFA or TACE treatment. This combination therapy can thus be a valuable choice of treatment for recurrent HCC.  相似文献

Background and Aim: Tumor recurrence after liver resection occurs in the majority of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study was conducted to clarify the safety and effectiveness of repeated liver resection as a curative option for intrahepatic HCC recurrence. Methods: Between July 1990 and January 2009, 483 patients underwent 514 curative hepatic resections for HCC in our institution. Among this collective, 27 patients underwent 31 repeated resections due to recurrent HCC (27 s resections, three third resections and one forth resection). The outcome of these patients was retrospectively reviewed using a prospective database. Results: Perioperative morbidity and mortality was 11% (three of 27) and 0%. Six patients showed multiple liver lesions, 23 underwent minor liver resections (fewer than three segments) and five patients underwent major resections (three or more segments). The majority of the patients showed no signs of chronic liver disease (16 of 27). The median tumor free margin was 1.5 mm (range: 0 to 20 mm). The median tumor diameter was 40 mm (range: 10 to 165 mm). Tumor dedifferentiations at time of tumor recurrence were not observed. The 1‐, 3‐ and 5‐year overall survival rates after second liver resection were 96%, 70% and 42%. Conclusions: Repeated liver resection is a valid and safe curative therapy option for recurrent HCC and results in significant prolongation of survival in comparison to interventional treatment strategies in selected patients. However, due to impaired liver function, multifocal intrahepatic or extrahepatic recurrence repeated resection is only feasible in a minority of patients.  相似文献

Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is the sixth most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancerrelated death in the world.With advances in imaging diagnostics,accompanied by better understanding of high-risk patients,HCC is now frequently detected at an early stage;however,the prognosis remains poor.The recurrence rate after treatment of HCC is higher than that associated with cancers of other organs.This may be because of the high incidence of intrahepatic distant recurrence and multicentric recurrence,especially with hepatitis C virus(HCV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma.The Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer(BCLC)classification has recently emerged as the standard classification system for the clinical management of patients with HCC.According to the BCLC staging system,curative therapies(resection,transplantation,transcatheter arterial chemoembolization,percutaneous ethanol injection therapy,percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy and percutaneous radiofrequency ablation)can improve survival in HCC patients diagnosed at an early stage and offer a potential long-term cure.However,treatment strategies for recurrent disease are not mentioned in the BCLC classsification.The strategy for recurrence may differ according to the recurrence pattern,i.e.,intrahepatic distant recurrence vs multicentricrecurrence.In this article,we review recurrent HCC and the therapeutic strategies for reducing recurrent HCC,especially HCV-related HCC.  相似文献

Background

Intrahepatic recurrence is a significant problem for patients who have undergone a hepatic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The objective of the present study was to identify risk factors and evaluate the management of early and late recurrence of solitary HCC after curative resection.

Methods

Included in this study were 816 patients with solitary HCC who underwent a curative partial hepatectomy. Intrahepatic recurrence in these patients was followed up retrospectively. Prognosis and therapy for the recurrence were investigated and analysed.

Results

Early and late intrahepatic recurrence occurred in 423 patients and 199 patients, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that a tumour diameter >5 cm, the absence of a tumour capsule and the presence of microvascular invasion were correlated with early recurrence, whereas cirrhosis and alpha-fetal protein >400 μg/l were independent risk factors contributing to late recurrence. The 5-year survival of HCC patients with early recurrence was significantly lower than that of patients with late recurrence. Further curative treatment for intrahepatic recurrence offered a 5-year overall survival of 56.0%, which was better than alternative management.

Conclusion

Early and late recurrences of solitary HCC after curative resection are associated with different predictive factors. The time to recurrence and further curative treatment after recurrence were the best predictors of survival post recurrence.  相似文献

Spontaneously ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma (srHCC) is a fatal complication of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In addition, emergency treatment is frequently fraught with difficulties. This study aimed to investigate the prognosis and recurrence pattern in patients undergoing hepatectomy for the srHCC. This retrospective study included 11 patients with srHCC treated using either emergency hepatectomy or emergency transarterial embolization (TAE) followed by staged hepatectomy between January 2015 and December 2019. The patients visited the emergency room because of a sudden rupture of HCC without being diagnosed with HCC. We analyzed the prognosis, recurrence rate, and survival in these patients after hepatectomy. Four of the 11 patients in this study were classified as Child–Pugh class A and 7 as Child–Pugh class B. Nine patients visited for sudden onset of abdominal pain, and 2 for sudden onset of shock. The median hemoglobin level at the time of the visit was 11.5 g/dL (interquartile range: 9.8–12.7). Five patients underwent one-stage hepatectomy and 6 underwent emergency TAE hemostasis followed by staged hepatectomy. Median overall survival and recurrence-free survivals were 23 and 15 months, respectively. Recurrence occurred in 7 patients (4 in the one-stage group and 3 in the staged group). Among patients with recurrence, 6 had intrahepatic recurrence and 3 peritoneal metastases. Patients with srHCC who undergo staged hepatectomy can achieve a relatively good prognosis. The most common sites of recurrence after hepatectomy are intrahepatic and peritoneal. Peritoneal metastases are more likely to occur after one-stage hepatectomy.  相似文献

The effects of serum hepatitis B e antigen (HB eAg) on the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC ) patients after hepatectomy remain controversial. Our aim was to explore the prognostic significance of serum HB eAg on the prognosis of patients with HCC using a propensity matching model. Between January 2009 and March 2015, 953 patients with HCC who underwent hepatectomy in West China Hospital were analysed. Propensity matching analysis was applied, and survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan‐Meier method. Risk factors were identified by the Cox proportional hazards model. All patients with HCC were classified into an HB eAg(?) group (n = 775, 81.3%) or an HB eAg(+) group (n = 178, 18.7%). Patients with positive serum HB eAg had poorer recurrence‐free survival and overall survival before and after propensity matching. Similar results were found in patients within the Milan criteria. For patients beyond the Milan criteria, the HB eAg(+) group had poor overall survival before and after propensity matching. In term of recurrence‐free survival, there was no statistically significant impact after propensity matching (P  = .055), although there was a trend for HB eAg(+) patient to have reduced recurrence‐free survival. Positive serum HB eAg, positive HBV ‐DNA load, largest tumour size, multiple tumours, microvascular invasion and a high serum level of preoperative alpha‐fetoprotein were risk factors for recurrence. Our propensity model confirmed that positive serum HB eAg had a negative impact on the recurrence and long‐term survival irrespective of tumour stages. HB eAg seroconversion might be beneficial for reducing the rate of recurrence.  相似文献

This report is based on an analysis of the recurrent patterns and post-treatment clinical outcome of 78 patients following hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Patients with a single recurrent tumor (group A;n=41) often had multicentric carcinogenesis (41.7%) and were treated locally; i.e., by re-resection or by percutaneous ethanol injection therapy (PEIT). Many of them (42.9%) followed the “curative pattern,” with good prognosis (70.3% 5-year survival rate). Although 6 of the patients with two or three recurrent tumors (group B;n=19) had multicentric carcinogenesis that could be treated locally, 13 of the 19 followed the “non-curative pattern,” with a poor prognosis after recurrence (14.8% 3-year survival rate after recurrence). The primary tumors of the patients with multiple or infiltrating type (group C;n=18) were advanced and these patients had metastatic recurrence, thereby following the “early death pattern” (58.8%) with a poor prognosis (30% 5-year survival rate). For group C patients, hepatectomy was regarded as part of a multidisciplinary treatment regimen that included aggressive postoperative chemotherapy as a necessary component.  相似文献

The optimal treatment for recurrent lesions after hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases is controversial. We report the outcome of aggressive surgery for recurrent disease after the initial hepatectomy and the influence on quality of life of such treatment. Forty-five (70%) of the 64 surviving patients developed recurrence after the initial hepatectomy for liver metastases. The determinants of hepatic recurrence were the distribution and the number of liver metastases. Twenty-eight (62%) of patients with recurrence underwent resection. A second hepatectomy was performed in 20 patients, and a third hepatectomy was done in 5 patients. Ten patients with pulmonary metastasis underwent partial lung resection on 14 occasions, while resection of brain metastases was performed in 3 patients on 5 occasions. There were no operative deaths after resection of recurrent disease. The morbidity rate was 28% after repeat hepatectomy, 21% after pulmonary resection, and 0% after resection of brain metastasis. The Karnofsky performance status (PS) after the last surgery was not significantly different from that after the initial hepatectomy. The 3- and 5-year survival rates after the second hepatectomy were 54% and 14%, respectively. The 3-and 5-year survival rates of the patients undergoing resection of extrahepatic recurrence were both 17%. The survival rate after resection of recurrent disease (n=28) was significantly better than that of patients (n=17) with unresectable recurrence (P < 0.05). For the 66 patients with colorectal liver metastases, the 5-year survival rate after initial hepatectomy was 50%. The distribution and the number of liver metastases and the presence of extrahepatic disease, as single factors, significantly affected prognosis after the initial hepatectomy. Multivariate analysis revealed that only the presence of extrahepatic metastasis and a disease-free interval of less than 6 months were independent predictors of survival after the initial and second hepatectomy, respectively. It is concluded that aggressive surgery is an effective strategy for selected patients with recurrence after initial hepatectomy. Careful selection of candidates for repeat surgery will yield increased clinical benefit, including long-term survival.  相似文献

Recurrence after hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is frequent.Currently,there are no recommendations on therapeutic strategy after recurrence of HCC.Whereas the 5 year-recurrence rate after resection of HCC is 100%,this drops to 15% after primary liver transplantation.Repeat hepatectomy and salvage liver transplantation(SLT) could be performed in selected patients to treat recurrent HCC and enable prolonged overall survival after treatment of recurrence.Other therapies such as local ablation,chemoembolization or sorafenib could be proposed to those patients unable to benefit from resection or SLT.A clear definition of the place of SLT and "prophylactic" liver transplantation is required.Indeed,identifying risks factors for recurrence at time of primary liver resection of HCC may help to avoid recurrence beyond Milan criteria and non-resectable situations.In this review,we summarize the recent data available in the literature on the feasibility and outcomes of repeat hepatectomy and SLT as treatment for recurrent HCC.  相似文献

Aim: Lens culinaris agglutinin A‐reactive fraction of α‐fetoprotein (AFP‐L3) status has been reported to be an independent prognostic factor in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we evaluated the clinical usefulness of measuring preoperative AFP‐L3 to predict the recurrence and prognosis of HCC after curative hepatectomy. Methods: One hundred and forty‐two HCC patients who underwent curative hepatectomy were examined for the correlation between preoperative tumor marker, including AFP, des‐γ‐carboxy prothrombin (DCP) and AFP‐L3, and clinicopathological variables. The prognostic factors of disease‐free survival rates and overall survival rates were also determined using clinicopathological variables including these three tumor markers. Results: There were similar tendencies in the relationship between these three markers and malignant behaviors including lower grade tumor differentiation or vascular invasion. In multivariate analysis, increased AFP‐L3 value (P = 0.019) was found to be an independent prognostic factor of disease‐free survival after curative hepatectomy. In addition, elevated DCP (P = 0.013) and AFP‐L3 values (P = 0.012) were found to be independent prognostic factors. Furthermore, the preoperative AFP‐L3 value in the patients with early recurrence (within 1 year after hepatectomy) was significantly higher than that in those without early recurrence (26.9 ± 19.5 % vs 14.2 ± 19.8 %, P = 0.047). Conclusion: Preoperative AFP‐L3 value was strongly correlated to disease‐free and overall survival rate and the timing of recurrence, so it appears that it would be useful to predict the recurrence and prognosis of HCC after curative hepatectomy.  相似文献

AIM: To study the expression of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein survivin in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and its correlation with clinicopathological factors, cell proliferation, recurrence and prognosis after hepatectomy. METHODS: Immunohistochemical staining of survivin and Ki-67 was performed by the standard streptavidin- peroxidase technique on paraffin sections of 55 cases of HCC. RESULTS: The positive rate of survivin in HCC was 52.7% (29/55). Significant correlation was found between survivin expression with portal vein thrombi and intrahepatic matastasistic nodes (P 〈 0.05). The recurrent rate in survivin-positive HCC was significantly higher than that in survivin-negative HCC after hepatectomy, the 1- and 3-year survival rate in patients with survivin-positive tumors was significantly lower than that in patients with survivin-negative tumors (58.62 and 10.34% vs 76.92 and 30.77%, P 〈 0.05, log-rank test). The proliferation index (Ki-67) in survivin-positive HCC (33.83% ± 18.90%) was significantly higher than that in survivin-negative HCC (19.60% ± 19.35%) (P 〈 0.05). CONCLUSION: Survivin may play an important role in progression of HCC by promoting cell proliferation, and may be positively correlated with high risk of disease recurrence and poor prognosis in HCC. Its expression may serve as a prognostic factor for patients with HCC after hepatectomy.  相似文献

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The aim of this study was to clarify the significant risk factors as they relate to early recurrence after hepatectomy in cirrhotic patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODOLOGY: We retrospectively investigated 42 cirrhotic patients undergoing hepatectomy for a single HCC. We compared the clinicopathologic features of 14 patients with early intrahepatic recurrence (recurrence was detected within 1 year after hepatic resection; Group 1) with 28 patients without recurrence or with late intrahepatic recurrence (recurrence was confirmed more than 1 year after hepatic resection; Group 2). RESULTS: There were no significant differences in the pre-operative and intra-operative clinical background data or pathological data between the 2 groups. Regarding recurrence pattern, although not significant, the incidence of intrahepatic metastasis in Group 1 (85.7%) was higher than in Group 2 (50.0%). Maximum values of total bilirubin and albumin within 7 days after hepatectomy for patients in Group 2 were significantly better than those in Group 1. Aspatate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) immediately after hepatectomy in Group 1 were also higher than in Group 2, although statistically insignificant. The overall 1-year and 3-year survival rates between Group 1 versus Group 2 were 85.7% versus 100% (p < 0.01) and 57.2% versus 90.0% (p < 0.01), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Hepatic functional damage immediately after hepatectomy is as significant risk factor for early intrahepatic recurrence in cirrhotic HCC. Careful perioperative management of hepatic function may therefore be important in preventing early recurrence and prolonging survival.  相似文献

AIM: To evaluate the impact of obesity on the postoperative outcome after hepatic resection in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS: Data from 328 consecutive patients with primary HCC and 60 patients with recurrent HCC were studied. We compared the surgical outcomes between the non-obese group (body mass index: BMI 〈 25 kg/m2) and the obese group (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2). RESULTS: Following curative hepatectomy in patients with primary HCC, the incidence of postoperative complications and the long-term prognosis in the nonobese group (n = 240) were comparable to those in the obese group (n = 88). Among patients with recurrent HCC, the incidence of postoperative complications after repeat hepatectomy was not significantly different between the non-obese group (n = 44) and the obese group (n = 16). However, patients in the obese group showed a significantly poorer long-term prognosis than those in the non-obese group (P 〈 0.05, five-yearsurvival rate; 51.9% and 92.0%, respectively). CONCLUSION: Obesity alone may not have an adverse effect on the surgical outcomes of patients with primary HCC. However, greater caution seems to be required when planning a repeat hepatectomy for obese patients with recurrent HCC.  相似文献
