摘要: Thirty-two patients with a solitary hepatocellular carcinoma of less than 4 cm diameter were treated during the 13 years from 1971 to 1983, two-thirds them since 1981. Serum alpha-fetoprotein levels proved be an excellent diagnostic tool for these early stage carcinomas which are generally asymptomatic. Ultrasonography forms invaluable test detection occult liver cancer and has enhanced ability detect small sized lesions. The accuracy this method increased 25 per cent period 1971-1980 89 1981-1983. cumulative survival rates 32 by hepatic resection at 1, 2 5 85, 70 22.2 (excluded figures four operative deaths giving 12.5 mortality).
