Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the prognostic value of the Cancer of the Liver Italian Program (CLIP) score system in a study of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who underwent radical resection. Methods Clinical pathological and follow-up data of 157 HCC patients, who underwent radical resection in our hospital from 1996 to 2004, were reveiwed retrospectively. Patients were divided into four groups according to CLIP scores. Disease-free survival rate was compared between groups, and within groups, the disease-free survival rate of patients receiving anatomic liver resection was compared with that of irregular liver resection. Results The overall 1,3,5-year disease-free survival rate was 63.6%、45.2%、35.7%,and there were significant differences among the four groups. For the zero score group, the recurrence rate of patients undergoing anatomic liver resection was lower than that of irregular liver resection (P = 0.003). Conclusions CLIP score system can be used to evaluate the recurrence rate of HCC patients receiving hepatectomy. CLIP score system can be used as a guidance for liver resection.
