We studied the relation of perioperative blood transfusion and the outcomes in 175 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who underwent hepatic resection from 1986 to 1994 in our hospital. Hepatectomy was performed in 23 (13.1%) patients with and 152 (86. 9%) without blood transfusions. The cumulative cancer-free survival rates for patients who had received blood transfusion was significantly lower than that for patients who had not received blood transfusions (p = 0.003). Further examinations revealed a significant difference in cancer-free survival rates for stage I-II patients (n = 75) of HCC (p = 0.02) but not for stage III-IV patients (n = 56) (p = 0.06). Cox regression analysis for recurrence revealed that blood transfusion was the most significant prognostic indicator (p = 0.001) for recurrence in stage I-II patients but not in stage III-IV patients (p = 0.99). These results suggest that a perioperative blood transfusion may be a significant prognostic indicator for patients with HCC who had underwent hepatectomy, especially in stage I-II patients of HCC.
