title: [Prognostic factors of hepatocellular carcinomas after non-surgical treatment].
abstract: We studied 710 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) who underwent non-surgical treatment. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that four factors, the number of tumors, tumor size, portal vein tumor thrombus and the severity of liver dysfunction (Child's classification) before treatment were found to be significant for the prognosis of patients and that severity of liver dysfunction was the most significant factor. of 179 patients with small HCC who underwent percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI), the severity of liver dysfunction was the most significant factor contributing to the prognosis. The prognosis of HCC is influenced by many factors. We conclude that early detection of tumors followed by early therapy is the most important.
