Primary and secondary hepatic cancer--specifics of surgical treatment in correlation with disease stage

Given the necessity of increasing their resectability, there are evaluated the possibilities of surgical treatment for these types of hepatic cancer, in the context of dominant clinical presence of advanced hepatic tumors.

Summary:Given the necessity of increasing their resectability, there are evaluated the possibilities of surgical treatment for these types of hepatic cancer, in the context of dominant clinical presence of advanced hepatic tumors. The study comprises 190 patients during 01.01.2000-31.12.2007, in the IIIrd Surgical Clinic, Iaşi, with primary and secondary hepatic tumors. There were made typical and atypical hepatic resections, metastasectomies--36 cases, alcoholisation--11 cases, and radiofrequency ablation--19 cases. Mortality was 4.73%. This study makes a critical analysis of the surgical treatment methods use, given the apparition of radiofrequency thermodistruction and the surgical technology evolution.
