## Background and Objectives: The clinical significance of the width of the surgical margin in the resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has yet to be clarified. Methods: Childs' A patients (165) who underwent resections of HCC were studied. Patients were divided into a wide margin group (1.
Factors affecting outcome after resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients from Western countries are not clearly defined. Different clinicopathological factors, including DNA ploidy and expression of p53 and CD44H proteins were evaluated retrospectively in 113 patients undergoing curat
