| pubmed-article:21136178 | pubmed:abstractText | With substantial improvements in perioperative care and surgical technique, both mortality and morbidity after liver resection have progressively decreased; however, long-term prognosis is greatly affected by tumor recurrence, which represents the most frequent cause of death. The aim of this study is to analyze the outcome after hepatic resection in the present clinical scenario, where great improvements in diagnostic techniques, surveillance schedules, in other active treatments will potentially have a positive impact on survival. | lld:pubmed |
