Anatomical sites (Takasaki's segmentation) predicts the recurrence-free survival of hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Until now, several classification staging system and treatment algorithm for hepatocelluar carcinoma (HCC) has been presented. However, anatomical location is not taken into account in these staging systems. The aim of this study is to investigate whether anatomical sites could predict the postoperative recurrence of HCC patients.

Methods

294 HCC patients were enrolled in this retrospective study. A novel score classification based on anatomical sites was established by a Cox regression model and validated in the internal validation cohort.

Results

HCC patients were stratified according to the novel score classification into three groups (score 0, score 1-3 and score 4-6). The predictive accuracy of the novel recurrence score for HCC patients as determined
