The proportion of primary hepatocellular carcinomas which are technically operable with hope of cure is small. Recommended therapy ranges from aggressive therapy to a nihilistic approach. There is little data available on the natural history of untreated tumours and we report such a case. A review of the literature regarding survival with primary hepatocellular carcinoma shows that the prognosis of patients with this tumour may vary considerably. Such variability has important implications for those involved in the design and interpretation of trials of treatment for hepatocellular cancer.
从技术上可进行有望治愈的手术的原发性肝细胞癌比例很小。推荐的治疗方法从积极治疗到消极治疗不等。关于未经治疗肿瘤的自然史的可用数据很少，我们报告了这样一个病例。对有关原发性肝细胞癌生存情况的文献综述表明，该肿瘤患者的预后可能有很大差异。这种变异性对参与肝细胞癌治疗试验设计和解读的人员具有重要意义。
