Serum vascular endothelial growth factor is a potential biomarker of metastatic recurrence after curative resection of hepatocellular carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies in China. To date, surgery is still the best solution to it. However, metastatic recurrences after curative hepatic resections are very common. Tang et al have reported that recurrence rate within 5 years of curative hepatic resection is 61.5% [1]. As curative hepatic resection has a high tendency for metastatic recurrence, therapeutic interventions such as transarterial embolization and antiangiogenesis have been tried to further improve prognosis of HCC patients. Therefore, establishing a dependable, sensitive, easy, and economical method to predict metastatic recurrence following curative hepatic resection is of clinical urgency.
