[Retrospective analysis on 682 cases of liver cancer after surgical treatment].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the factors of long-turn survival of liver cancer after surgical treatment.


METHODS
Five hundred and twenty-two cases of liver cancer that received surgical treatment in 14 years were analyzed retrospectively.


RESULTS
Comparison between the small liver cancer (< 5 cm) and the greater one (> 10 cm) revealed that the small liver cancer had a higher survival rates than the greater one [3 year (61.25 +/- 4.41)% versus (45.90 +/- 6.98)%; 5 year (53.84 +/- 5.68)% versus (30.21 +/- 10.23)%]. There were same results between single-nodule and two or more than two nodule [3 year (61.86 +/- 3.69)% versus (38.31 +/- 4.97)%; 5 year (55.40 +/- 4.91)% versus (28.01 +/- 6.31)%], between child I and child II or more than II [3 year (60.68 +/- 3.68)% versus (49.88 +/- 4.13)%; 5 year (50.99 +/- 5.10)% versus (36.39 +/- 7.58)%], and between single segmentectomy of the liver and two or more than two segmentectomy [3 year (68.65 +/- 4.95)% versus (49.88 +/- 4.13)%; 5 year (65.38 +/- 5.69)% versus (37.98 +/- 5.70)%].


CONCLUSIONS
Small liver cancer, single-nodule, good hepatic function and minor resection were important factors to prolong survival further.
