Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialRandomized controlled trial to compare the dose of adjuvant chemotherapy after curative resection of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Adjuvant locoregional chemotherapy has been shown to be useful to prevent recurrence after curative resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in some retrospective studies. Our aim was to compare the dose effect in the prevention of tumor recurrence. ⋯ There is no significant difference in the survival rates between the two groups. Adjuvant chemotherapy may not be useful.
