Objective To summarize the research progress of risk factors related to early recurrence and late recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after radical resection.Methods Reviewed and summarized recent literatures on factors related to early and late recurrence of HCC after radical resection.Results Radical resection was the most effective treatment for HCC, but the postoperative recurrence rate was high, which seriously affected the treatment effect. Current research divided the recurrence after radical resection of HCC into early recurrence (≤2 years) and late recurrence (>2 years). Early recurrence was considered to be mainly caused by intrahepatic metastasis (IM), which was related to the tumor itself, while late recurrence was mainly caused by multicentric occurrence (MO) and was related to background liver factors. Factors of the tumor itself, including tumor diameter and number, invasion of tumor large vessels and microvessels, anatomical and non-anatomical resection, tumor margin, residual liver ischemia (RLI), intermittent total entry hepatic blood flow interruption method (IPM), the expression level of circulating microRNA in serum and long-chain non-coding RNA, circulating tumor cells, and circulating tumor DNA were related to early recurrence; background liver factors, including liver cirrhosis, high viral load, and liver inflammatory activity, were associated with late recurrence.Conclusions Both the tumor factors associated with early recurrence and the background liver factors associated with late recurrence can affect the recurrence after radical resection of HCC.
