Factors affecting the prognosis of primary liver carcinoma

FM Sutton, NC Russell, VF Guinee and E Alpert
Division of Gastroenterology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX.

Analysis of the clinical records of 163 patients with primary liver carcinoma was performed to identify factors affecting prognosis. The overall 3-year survival rate was 10%, and the median survival was 7.8 months. Survival was similar for patients with single or multiple tumor nodules. There was no significant association between nodule size of 3 cm or larger and survival. Patients who underwent resection had a longer survival. For patients without cirrhosis, location of the tumor in the left lobe regardless of whether it is resected appears to be a prognostic factor associated with prolonged survival. Female sex and the absence of cirrhosis were also associated with longer survival.
