Prognosis Factors of Young Patients Undergoing Curative Resection for Hepatitis B Virus-Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Multicenter Study.

Young patients had better liver function, more aggressive tumor characteristics, and worse prognosis than older patients. A tumor size of ≥5 cm and macrovascular invasion were associated with poor OS and RFS in young patients. If tumors could be detected at the early stage by more frequent surveillance, long-term survival can be expected in the young patients.
