Abstract:
With the progress in muhimodality therapy, the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) comes to an era of diversification. Dudng the last 2 decades, the increased understanding of biological behaviors of HCC and innovations of various treatment modalities has led to dramatic changes in concepts and strategies of treatment for HCC. The changes include the shifts from experience-based medicine to evidence-based medicine, from rough treatment to precise treatment and from single therapy to integrated therapy. The implementation of these concepts and therapies will further improve the chance of survival and the quality of life for HCC patients.
