Abstract

ObjectivesThis study aimed to determine which factors affect the prognosis for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), including the prognostic difference between tumor sizes from less than 5 cm and larger than 5cm. Methods: The medical records of 99 patients who underwent transarterial chemoembolization for single HCC. Patients were divided in to two group tumor larger than 5 cm and less than 5 cm were analyzed. Results: In the analysis of the entire cohort of 99 patients, group I had 33 patients with tumor larger than 5 cm, group II had 66 patients with tumor less than 5cm. In a comparison of survival rates between groups, tumor sizes less than 5 cm and larger than 5 cm, the overall and disease-free survival rates were significantly different, respectively (5.9 vs. 2.96 years, P < 0.05). High prothrombin induced by vitamin K absence were in larger tumor compare tumor less than 5 cm group. Conclusion: This study shows that solitary HCC lesser than 5 cm showed favorable overall survival.
