Abstract
Background/Aims: This retrospective study was undertaken to obtain information relevant to the therapeutic strategy in single hepatocellular carcinoma associated with Child's A and B cirrhosis. Methods: From a total of 1108 consecutive patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, 391 patients with single, small (≤5 cm) hepatocellular carcinoma (260 in Child A class and 131 in Child B class) were observed: 120 were treated by surgical resection, 155 by percutaneous ethanol injection and 116 were untreated. The end point of the study was 3-year survival. The log rank test was used to compare survival among the different groups. Results: In the Child A group the cumulative 3-year survival was 79% for surgery, 71% for percutaneous ethanol injection and 26% for no treatment (p
