A total of 850 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma seen during the last 8 years were analyzed retrospectively for survival in relation to treatment and disease stage. A new staging scheme based on tumor size, ascites, jaundice and serum albumin was used. Clearly, the prognosis depended on disease stage.

The median survival of 229 patients who received no specific treatment was 1.6 months, 0.7 month for Stage III patients, 2.0 months for Stage II, and 8.3 months for Stage I. The median survival of Stage I patients who had hepatic resection (n = 115) was 25.6 months and Stage II patients with resection (n = 42) was 12.2 months. In patients who had a small cancer (≤25% of liver area in size) the median survival was 29.0 months.

Survival of the surgically treated patients, which represented a highly selected group, was better than that of medically treated patients of a comparable stage. Median survival of Stage I medically treated patients (n = 124) was 9.4 months, for Stage II (n = 290) 3.5 months, and for Stage III (n = 50) 1.6 months. Medical treatment prolonged survival in Stage II and III patients, but not in Stage I. Transcatheter arterial embolization gave a better survival compared with chemotherapy, whether intra‐arterial bolus administration of mitomycin C, systemic mitomycin C, or oral/rectal tegafur, in Stage II. Among various chemotherapeutic modalities, intra‐arterial bolus injection was superior to systemic chemotherapy in survival in Stage II. In Stage III, chemotherapy improved survival as compared with no specific treatment.

The major causes of death were hepatic failure and gastrointestinal bleeding, probably due to the coexistent advanced cirrhosis. These results in survival are much improved over the past reports, and the differences are probably a result of earlier diagnosis and frequent hepatic resections.

Alright so a bunch of people have noticed that I've slowed down my posting significantly and have become quite erratic in my timing. Unfortunately I've gotten ridiculously busy over the past month or so. This blog ended up taking a back-seat. I plan to start posting on a regular basis again (it's one my new-year's resolutions..no not really, but it would be if I did new year's resolutions). Expect a post at least once a week. I've also included some helpful links for those of you who don't feel like clicking back here every time (if I'm bookmarked, I thank you). You can now subscribe to this blog in a reader, via e-mail and on technorati.

All these services are available on the right side of this page. Thanks for your patience and readership.
