Resection for Multiple Hepatocellular Carcinomas (HCC)

Hepatic Resection for Multiple Hepatocellular Carcinoma on Cirrhosis

Surgical resection in patients with multiple hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) remains controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the outcome of a consecutive cohort of patients resected for multiple HCC, without macrovascular invasion, in order to identify clinically reliable parameters to select patients for surgery.

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients with multiple HCC without macrovascular invasion on liver cirrhosis

Exclusion Criteria:

• macrovascular invasion;
• normal liver;
• distant or lymphnodes metastasis
