PURPOSE: To assess the outcome and effectiveness of liver surgery for huge @entity157 ( @entity157 ) in the caudate lobe. METHODS: This study retrospectively examined 18 @entity1 who underwent surgical treatment for huge @entity157 in the caudate lobe. An isolated caudate lobectomy and an extended caudate lobectomy were each performed in nine @entity1 (50%). The @entity260 and treatments for recurrence were recorded. The survival curve was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS: The postoperative mortality and morbidity were nil and 33.3%, respectively. Fourteen @entity1 (77%) had @entity5 recurrence as of the last follow-up. The recurrence was treated in all @entity1 . Eleven @entity1 underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, a median of three times per @entity1 (range, 1-7); one of those @entity1 also received percutaneous @entity1068 injection therapy and radiotherapy of recurrent nodules. One @entity1 was treated with systemic chemotherapy. One @entity1 underwent liver transplantation, and one underwent a repeated liver resection. The overall survival rates at 1, 3, and 5 years were 83%, 47%, and 31%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Long-term survival can be achieved using an aggressive surgical approach in selected @entity1 with huge @entity157 in the caudate lobe.
