Core Tip	A number of staging systems were designed for all of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients based on some character of tumor, such as tumor size, vascular invasion, regional lymph node metastasis and extrahepatic spread. But those systems failed to adequately stratify HCC patients with respect to prognosis. In our study, we explore an appropriate staging system for resectable patients with HCC based on tumor's growth characteristics, the Expansive-Invasive-Disseminative growth staging classification, which is a simple and efficacious prognostic model for postoperative patients with HCC.
