Abstract:
Regarding the prevention and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence after curative resection,surgeons do not have a clear consensus to evaluate the risk factors of recurrence and effectiveness of surgical resection.Therefore,postoperative HCC recurrence patterns were reviewed in this article,including differentiating intrahepatic metastasis (IM) and multicentric occurrence (MO),which play a key role in manifesting recurrence and patient prognosis.Additionally,the definitions of small HCC and curative resection,and the prophylactic and therapeutic values of anatomic resection and repeated hepatectomy in patients with recurrent HCC were reviewed.Fully understanding these issues might allow for a more objective,precise,and consistent clinical assessment of HCC.
