Abstract:
Hepatic resection is considered curative treatment for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),but the range of indication is narrow. Liver transplantation(LT) is another option, but recurrence and metastasis reduce long-term and medium-term survival. Appropriate patient selection is crucial in ensuring acceptable outcomes. Novel anticancer agents (chemotherapy and molecular target therapy) and appropriate use of immunosuppressant hold promise for improving the outcomes.
