Treatment of recurrent primary liver cancer

  • Chapter

Abstract

Resection of the liver offers the most favorable prognosis for primary liver cancer (PLC) [1]. Recently, an increasing number of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have been treated with resection, and the survival periods have been prolonged. However, the rate of recurrence after resection is still high, and there is much room for improvement. [2–5].
