Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed the impact of preoperative highly sensitive C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) levels on the outcomes of 624 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who underwent liver surgery between January 2004 and December 2008.
- The research found that higher preoperative Hs-CRP levels were significantly correlated with larger tumors, more advanced stages of cancer, and worse overall survival and recurrence-free survival rates in patients.
- The findings suggest that elevated preoperative Hs-CRP levels can serve as an independent prognostic indicator for predicting outcomes in HCC patients after surgical treatment.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical value of perioperative adjuvant chemotherapy in prevention of tumor recurrence and improvement of patient survival after liver transplantation for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: Twenty patients with advanced HCC (pTNM stages III and IV a) receiving liver transplantation with preoperative transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy (ADM+5-Fu+CDDP) were retrospectively reviewed in comparison with 16 patients receiving liver transplantation only for tumor recurrence, cumulative and tumor-free survivals. The feasibility and side-effects of the treatments were also studied.
