ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
To evaluate the impact of tumor size on the perioperative and long-term outcomes of liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).METHODS:
We reviewed the patients' data who underwent liver resection for HCC between November 2009 and 2019. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to the tumor size. Group I HCC < 5 cm, Group II HCC between 5 to 10 cm, and Group III HCC ≥ 10 cm in size.RESULTS:
Three hundred fifteen patients were included in the current study. Lower platelets count was noted Groups I and II. Higher serum alpha-feto protein was noted in Group III. Higher incidence of multiple tumors, macroscopic portal vein invasion, nearby organ invasion and presence of porta-hepatis lymph nodes were found in Group III. More major liver resections were performed in Group III. Longer operation time, more blood loss and more transfusion requirements were found in Group III. Longer hospital stay and more postoperative morbidities were noted in Group III, especially posthepatectomy liver failure, and respiratory complications. The median follow-up duration was 17 months (7-110 months). Mortality occurred in 100 patients (31.7%) and recurrence occurred in 147 patients (46.7%). There were no significant differences between the groups regarding recurrence free survival (Log Rank, p = 0.089) but not for overall survival (Log Rank, p = 0.001).CONCLUSION:
HCC size is not a contraindication for liver resection. With proper selection, safe techniques and standardized care, adequate outcomes could be achieved.Palavras-chave
