68 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were treated with laparoscopic microwave coagulation therapy between April 1995 and February 2003 at our institution. For these 68 case, we analyzed prognostic factors contributing to survival with univariate and multivariate analysis. When the survival rate was assessed for all patients treated with laparoscopic microwave coagulation, one-year survival was 97%, three-year survival was 81%, and five-year survival was 43%. On univariate analysis, only histology was a significant factor for survival. And on multivariate analysis, whether the therapy was primary or secondary HCC strongly influenced survival.
