Characteristic symptoms and signs are often absent in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). As a result, many patients are not diagnosed until their tumors have grown to large (> 5cm) or huge sizes (> 10cm). Liver resection has traditionally been reserved for patients with small HCC, but more recently it is being used for patients with large and huge tumors. The aim of this study was to determine risk predictors of recurrence, patterns of recurrence, and survival rates for large and huge HCC patients who underwent curative liver resection.

大型和巨大肝细胞癌的肝切除术：失败的预测因素、复发模式和预后

肝细胞癌 (HCC) 患者通常没有特征性症状和体征。因此，许多患者直到他们的肿瘤长到很大（> 5 厘米）或巨大尺寸（> 10 厘米）时才被诊断出来。肝切除术传统上只用于小 HCC 患者，但最近它被用于大肿瘤患者。本研究的目的是确定接受根治性肝切除术的大型和巨大 HCC 患者的复发风险预测因子、复发模式和生存率。
