Abstract: Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most frequent type of primary liver cancer and its incidence is increasing around the world in the last decades, making it the third cause of death by cancer in the world. Hepatic resection is one of the most effective treatments for HCC with five-year survival rates from 50-70%, especially for patients with a single nodule and preserved liver function. Some studies have shown a worse prognosis for HCC patients whose etiology is viral. That brings us to the que… Show more

“…The overall number of postoperative complications (22%; n=7) was similar to what can be seen in the literature, which has ranged from 15.7 to 23.8% among oncological patients 6 , 18 , 19 , 23 . In the present sample of patients, this rate can be explained by the large number of patients (30%) who presented previous laparotomies.…”

“…The general advantages of LH follow those that have already been widely mentioned regarding other abdominal procedures 6 , 7 , 9 , with fewer hepato-specific postoperative complications than in HA 1 - 7 , 10 . The conversion rate was 6%, which was similar to what was observed by Cai et al 4 , Cipriani et al 6 and Etorre et al 11 ; lower than what was reported by Montalti et al 18 (15.8%) and Nachmany et al 19 (11.9%) in cases of malignant neoplasia; and slightly higher than what was reported by Machado et al 16 and Lacerda et al 14 in mixed samples (both benign and malignant neoplasia). However, the fact that 13 of the 31 patients of the present study (more than 30%) had previously undergone laparotomy, prior to LH, needs to be highlighted.…”

“…LT for HCC may provide a 5-year survival reaching 70% 6 . Conversely, a recent study performed in Brazil revealed 5-year survival of 50% after partial liver resection for HCC 22 . The difference in survival rates between LT and resection for HCC may be due employment of different selection criteria between treatment methods.…”

“…HCC is the third leading cause of cancer-related death in the world. Although there are advances related to prevention techniques, screening, technology in diagnosis and treatment of cancer, the incidence and mortality remain worrisome [2,3]. In western countries, including Brazil, 70%-80% of HCC cases are associated with cirrhosis following chronic hepatitis B (HBV) or C (HCV) infection.…”
