The aim of this study was to clarify whether chemoembolization (TACE) before liver resection (LR) can reduce postoperative hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence and improve disease-free and overall survival, Eighty-nine patients with tumor-stage (TNM) I-II HCC were evaluated for LR. Patients were prospectively allocated to LR alone or TACE plus LR based on their place of residence. Twenty nonlocal patients (24%) were selected for LR, while 69 (77.5%) local patients were selected for TACE plus LR. Following TACE, the tumor stage could be confirmed in only 20 patients (29%) who then underwent LR. Operative mortality was 0%, but in the TACE-LR group, 3 patients died of liver failure between 2 and 5 months after surgery. Early recurrence (
