This document summarizes information from a presentation on surgery for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It discusses outcomes of liver resection for HCC tumors under 2 cm, including a 98% rate of complete radiological necrosis. It also examines factors like tumor size and number, presence of satellite nodules or cirrhosis that affect risk of recurrence. Additionally, it evaluates tools like indocyanine green retention at 15 minutes to assess liver functional reserve and risk of post-operative liver failure. The conclusion is that liver resection can cure early HCC when the patient has sufficient liver function and the surgery contains an adequate safety margin.
