- Cirrhotic status of Child-Pugh class A only.
- The following laboratory parameters:
- Patients who give written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Previous or concurrent cancer that is distinct in primary site or histology from HCC.
- History of cardiac disease.
- Active clinically serious infections ( over grade 2 National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0)
- Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
- Known Central Nervous System tumors including metastatic brain disease.
- Patients with clinically significant gastrointestinal bleeding within 30 days prior to study entry.
- History of organ allograft.
- Known or suspected allergy to the investigational agent or any agent given in association with this trial.
- Pregnant or breast-feeding patients.
- Any condition that is unstable or which could jeopardize the safety of the patient and his/her compliance in the study.
- Excluded therapies and medications, previous and concomitant:

Brief Summary
This is a randomized controlled study. About 200 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent radical resection will be included. The patients will be randomized to group A (receive CIK treatment) or group B (just regularly follow up) without any anti-cancer treatment after resection of HCC, and the randomize ratio will be 1:1.
