Cytokeratin 19 expression in hepatocellular carcinoma predicts early postoperative recurrence.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that CK19 expression is a predictor of early postoperative recurrence due to increased invasiveness in patients with CK19‐positive hepatocellular carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of long-term postoperative interferon-alpha therapy on intrahepatic recurrence after resection of hepatitis C virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma. A randomized, controlled trial.

TL;DR: This study conducted a randomized, controlled trial to evaluate whether postoperative therapy with interferon- would decrease the incidence of recurrence after resection of HCV-related hepatocellular carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hepatitis C virus infection as a likely etiology of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

TL;DR: HCV infection is a likely etiology of ICC in Japan and anti‐HCV antibodies were found to be independent risk factors for ICC development, as liver status worsened, the adjusted OR for ICC tended to increase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Incidence and management of Bile leakage after hepatic resection for malignant hepatic tumors

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined postoperative bile leakage as continuous drainage with a bilirubin concentration of 20 mg/dL or 1,500 mg/d lasting 2 days.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preoperative portal vein embolization improves prognosis after right hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with impaired hepatic function.

TL;DR: Percutaneous transhepatic portal vein embolization increases the safety of subsequent major hepatectomy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the effect of PTPE on long‐term prognosis after hepatesctomy is determined.
