Liver resection is a widely preferred treatment modality for hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs). This study aimed to compare the survival impact of anatomical with that limited resection, in patients single HCCs no larger than 5 cm diameter.A cohort was carried out on 209 consecutive who underwent hepatic HCC diameter between January 1994 and March 2007 at Osaka City General Hospital.The cumulative 5-year overall disease-free rates group (n = 111) were 71 40%, respectively, both which significantly better 48 25% seen 98) (P 0.0043 P 0.0232, respectively). Better effects having 2 moderately or poorly differentiated HCC. But significant difference either groups less well-differentiated Using Cox's regression model, confirmed be an independent favorable factor survival.Anatomical therefore recommended histologically advanced ranging from diameter.
