Role of intrahepatic tumor control in the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and extrahepatic metastases

Abstract

Intrahepatic tumor status and hepatic reserve are among the significant predictors of survival in patients with HCC and extrahepatic metastases. This study indicates that even in patients with metastases from advanced HCC, therapeutic approaches to control intrahepatic tumors are important in improving patient survival.
