Abstract
This study evaluated whether hepatic resection is a reasonable strategy as an initial treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) meeting Milan criteria in patients with compensated cirrhosis. From the database of 435 consecutive patients with resection of HCC between July 1994 and May 2007, 213 patients were found to have Child-Turcotte-Pugh class A cirrhosis and HCC meeting Milan criteria, as shown by preoperative image studies. We examined long-term survivals and patterns of recurrence after hepatic resection among those patients. Overall survival rates at 1, 3, 5, and 10 years were 92%, 78%, 69%, and 52%, respectively, and 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year disease-free survival rates were 79%, 57%, 44%, and 19%, respectively. Pathological review indicated that 36/213 patients (16.9%) had another nodule and/or gross vascular invasion. Microvascular invasion, tumor size, and histological grade of cirrhosis were independent risk factors for recurrence. Sixty percent of recurrent cases met the Milan criteria. The six patients who underwent living donor salvage liver transplantation (OLT) for intrahepatic recurrence were alive without recurrence at a median of 24 (range = 8-31) months. These favorable data suggest that hepatic resection is a good option for small HCCs in patients with compensated cirrhosis; and salvage OLT may be reserved for patients with recurrences.
