Purpose: The current American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) fails to stratify patients adequately with respect to prognosis.Patients and Methods. The ability of the currently proposed tumor (T) categories to effectively stratify the survival of 557 patients who underwent complete resection for HCC at four centers was examined. Independent predictors of survival were combined into a new staging system.Results: Using the current AJCC T classification, patients with T1 and T2 tumors had similar 5-year survivals (P=.6). In addition, the survival of patients with multiple bilobar tumors (T4) matched that of T3 patients (P=.5). Independent predictors of death were major vascular invasion (P
