High-risk factors for early postoperative recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma and related prediction methods
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Hepatology - Year 2024, Vol 40, Issue 10
Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignant tumor with high incidence and mortality rates, and although surgical resection is a possible method for cure, the prognosis of HCC is still affected by its high recurrence rate. Early recurrence (within 2 years after surgery) is defined as true recurrence and is usually caused by the intrahepatic spread of primary tumor. Early recurrence of HCC tends to have a poorer prognosis than late recurrence. Therefore, it is of great importance to fully understand the high-risk factors and prediction methods for early recurrence, which is essential to the selection of preoperative treatment regimens, postoperative follow-up, and prognosis. This article reviews the high-risk factors and prediction methods for early recurrence of HCC after surgery.
