Abstract
Resection margin has been widely examined for its effect on the postoperative outcome of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but its significance remains controversial. A few studies have shown that a resection margin smaller than 1 cm was an adverse prognostic factor for long-term survival,1-8 but others have found no correlation between the width of the resection margin and long-term outcome.9-19 These seemingly conflicting results have resulted in a discrepancy among hepatic surgeons on the definition of curative resection for HCC.Keywords
