 Abstract
 PDF
- Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) shows a poor prognosis with high recurrence rate even after
surgical resection. To improve prognosis of HCC patient, regular surveillance for high-risk
group is recommended, but cost-benefit of the surveillance under 40 years old Asian male
with hepatitis B infection is unclear. We share a 39-year-old male case which showed early
recurrence and rapid extrahepatic metastasis after surgical resection for single huge HCC.
Based on the pathologic finding, this case was diagnosed with ‘stemness’-related markerexpressing
HCC. Further molecular classification for HCC could be beneficial to estimate
individual risk for HCC recurrence and to predict prognosis.
