The Tokyo score, a new prognostic staging system consisting of albumin, bilirubin, and size and number of tumor has recently been proposed. To evaluate its usefulness, we examined the survival of 213 patients of hepatocellular carcinoma who had undergone hepatectomy. Disease-free and overall survival rates were calculated and difference in these rates between patients with different Tokyo scores was tested for significance using log-rank test. Regarding disease-free survival, there was a significant difference in survival between patients with Tokyo score of 0 and 1 (<I>p</I><0.05); however, there was no significant difference among patients with Tokyo score of 1, 2, 3 and 4. Regarding overall survival, there were a significant difference between patients with Tokyo score 0 and 1 (<I>p</I><0.01); however, there was no significant difference among patients with Tokyo score of 1, 2, 3 and 4. The 3- and 5-year disease-free survival rates in patients with Tokyo score of 0 were 61% and 46%, respectively, and the 3- and 5-year overall survival rates in them were 97% and 81%, respectively. Survival in patients with Tokyo score of 0 was significantly better than in those with Tokyo score of 1. The Tokyo score, a simple staging system that combines tumor factors and hepatic function, might be a good predictor of prognosis for patients of early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma with hepatectomy.
