Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 3-year disease free survival

    the proportion of individuals who didn't have tumor recurrence and still alive 3 years after hepatectomy

    3-year

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • disease free survival

    assessed up to 5 years

  • overall survival

    assessed up to 5 years

  • EORTC QLQ-C30

    through study completion, an average of 3 year

Other Outcomes (1)

Study Arms (2)

Hepatectomy plus Babaodan

EXPERIMENTAL

Surgical removal of all lesions and take Babaodan oral capsule after operation

Drug: Babaodan oral capsule

Hepatectomy plus Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Surgical removal of all lesions and take Placebo oral capsule after operation

Drug: Placebo oral capsule

Interventions

On the basis of conventional liver protecting treatment, take Babaodan oral capsule within 4 weeks after curative resection. Take two capsules three times daily, two months as a course of treatment and the maximum of eighteen courses, until the recurrence of tumor or death of patients (non tumor related death), or the termination of research.
