In recent years, the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has risen year by year, leading to a high mortality rate. At present, surgical treatment is the major cure for HCC, and in general, HCC is diagnosed at late stages. Due to the heterogeneity of HCC and different sensitivities to drugs, the treatment efficacy of advanced HCC is poor. In this paper, we retrospectively analyzed the prog-ress of HCC treatments and reviewed important progression, which provides new view for the clinical improvement of the total surviv-al of patients with HCC.
