Analysis of risk factors associated with early multinodular recurrences after hepatic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma

Sometimes patients experience an unexpected fulminant recurrence after partial hepatic resection for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, and this carries a dismal prognosis. We conducted this retrospective study to investigate the risk factors of early multinodular (ie, 10 nodules within 6 mo...

Description
Summary:Sometimes patients experience an unexpected fulminant recurrence after partial hepatic resection for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, and this carries a dismal prognosis. We conducted this retrospective study to investigate the risk factors of early multinodular (ie, 10 nodules within 6 months of surgery) recurrence in hepatocellular carcinoma. The study population consisted of 409 patients who underwent curative hepatic resection between January 2000 and April 2003. Patients were divided into 3 groups: nodular (
