Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the risk factors for metastasis and recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) postoperatively.
METHODS:Data of 270 cases of postoperative HCC were analyzed by SPSS software retrospectively.
RESULTS:Out of the 270 cases, 162 got follow-up study and 136 showed metastasis and recurrence. Lots of risk factors induced the recurrence of HCC, such as AFP, tumor form, venous blood invasion, HBV infection, resection dimension and perioperative transfusion. There were different risk factors at different stages.
CONCLUSION:The early recurrence of HCC may be mediated by macro- or micro-vessel blood invasion and metastasis, the late recurrence by multicentric carcinogenesis or introhepatic cacinoma de novo.
