title: Long-term survival after two surgical resections of peritoneal metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma with an interval of 4 years.
abstract: We propose that surgical resections of peritoneal metastases arising from hepatocellular carcinoma are an option for selected patients with controlled HCC in the liver, and without metastases in other organs, when the complete removal of such metastases can be achieved, especially in the case of patients with normal liver function.
