Abstract

Abstract

The high recurrence rate of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after surgery cannot be ignored, but there are still no consensus statements and guideline recommendations for adjuvant therapies after HCC surgery. Current studies have shown that microvascular invasion is one of the high-risk factors for postoperative recurrence of HCC, and for HCC patients with microvascular invasion, timely postoperative adjuvant therapy may delay the time to recurrence and bring benefits to patients. At this stage, the prevention of postoperative recurrence of HCC and the prolongation of survival time through adjuvant therapy have attracted more and more attention. This article reviews the research advances in adjuvant therapy after surgery for HCC with microvascular invasion in recent years, in order to provide reference and help for postoperative adjuvant therapies for HCC patients with microvascular invasion.
