About this trial
Rationale for the trial. To evaluate the impact of surgery on hepatocarcinoma recurrence. Thus, to evaluate the impact of different clinical, radiological, histopathological variables on recurrence after surgical treatment. The nature of this study will allow to observe, over time, the distribution of the considered collection variables, allowing a strictly observational monitoring of possible associations able to suggest models or interpretations, which can then be the basis for the construction of prospective and randomized studies.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
No age limit.
Hepatocarcinoma diagnosis confirmed at histological specimen
Every single patients with first HCC diagnosis or with a recurrence/persistence disease evaluated and treated with surgery at the participating center.
the assessment for patient enrollment must have been performed starting from 02/02/2019.
Disqualifiers
Surgery as a downstaging therapy for transplant
Patients treated with surgery in case of not-curative intent (palliation, best supportive care, etc).
Histopathological specimen of combined liver primary neoplasms (e.g. "hepatocholangiocarcinoma'').
Patients with other tumors in the previous past.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Disease-free-Survival
Disease Free Survival: the time between surgery and event of recurrence or death measured in months. If no event, patients will be censored at the last available follow-up date.
Overall Survival
The time from surgery to death measured in months. If no event, patients will be censored at the last available follow-up.
Secondary outcomes
Localization of the recurrence
Presence of relapse disease on the surgical cut surface rather than at distance
Number of redo-surgery
Number of patients who experienced a recurrence after first surgery and has been submitted to a redo-surgery procedure
