Outcomes of Hepatic Resection for a Single Large Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Abstract

Single large HCCs do not require a large extent of hepatic resection and the associated increased risk of postoperative liver failure. The long-term survival of patients with a single large HCC is as good as that of patients with a single small HCC. We conclude that hepatic resection is a safe and effective therapy for single large HCCs.
