Comparative StudyHepatic function immediately after hepatectomy as a significant risk factor for early recurrence in hepatocellular carcinoma.
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). ⋯ 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.
