High pre-operative serum aminotransferase levels predict local recurrence after curative resection of hepatocellular carcinoma

Conclusion Although this is a small-scale study, our findings could be easily applied clinically and used as readily available indicators to help the follow-up algorithm. We also suggest antiviral management as soon as possible for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing curative resection, especially those with a high preoperative aspartate aminotransferase level.
