Surgical Contribution to Recurrence-Free Survival in Patients with Macrovascular-Invasion−Negative Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Anatomically systematized hepatectomy might contribute to recurrence-free survival of HCC patients of HCC without MVI. Local recurrence could be mostly averted by anatomic hepatectomy, although specific epithelial-mesenchymal transitions signaling might regulate the biologic aggressiveness of HCC.
