Abstract:
Primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide and is the leading cause of death in China. Multidisciplinary treatment is widely accepted as the way to improve the prognosis of PHC, and non-surgical therapy now plays a more and more important role. The purpose of this article is to review the current status and progress of non-surgical treatments of PHC, such as TACE, local ablation, radiotherapy and systemic therapy.
