| Core Tip |
The aim of this study was to compare the prognostic advantage of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients that underwent anatomic liver resection (AR) or non-anatomic liver resection (NAR) using propensity score-matched populations. Consecutive 268 HCC patients were enrolled and 44 patients from each group were matched using logistic multivariate analysis followed by propensity score analysis. The overall survival of the AR group was significantly longer than that of the NAR group after propensity matching. Vascular invasion and the hepatocyte growth factor level were subsequently found to be independent prognostic factors. AR conveys a survival advantage over NAR in specific subpopulations of HCC patients. |
