Abstract:To observe the short -term effect of laparoscopic hepatectomy combined with Hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) on liver cancer with liver cirrhosis. Methods Seventy-six patients of liver cancer with liver cirrhosis were selected from our hospital between October 2013 and March 2015. All the patients underwent laparoscopic liver resection. In the 4th week after surgery, they received intravenous drip of 4-6 mg HCPT for chemotherapy for continuous 7 d, 3 weeks for 1 course. After 4 courses, regular follow-up was carried out to observe the improvement of clinical symptoms such as jaundice, abdominal distension and other clinical symptoms. Karnofsky scoring method was used to evaluate the quality of life of patients in the near future, and SPSS 22.0 software was applied to statistically analyze the research data.

Clinical symptom score and Karnofsky score showed that the condition of all patients was obviously controlled, the clinical symptoms were significantly improved, the quality of life was markedly improved, the postoperative side effects of chemotherapy were mild and tolerable.
