Abstract:
The Standardization of Diagnosis and Treatment for Hepatocellular Carcinoma issued by China in 2011 has effectively improved the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The new edition of Standardization of Diagnosis and Treatment for Hepatocellular Carcinoma published in 2017 firstly introduced the Oxford Centre for Evidence Based Medicine (OCEBM) grades of evidence, standardized the sampling method of HCC, and emphasized microvascular invasion (MVI) as an indicator of regular pathology report. The new guideline recommends modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (mR ECIST) to assess anti-tumor efficiency. Moreover, the new guideline presents the Chinese staging system and treatment roadmap for HCC according to Chinese actual situation. This paper aimed to interpret the updates of the new guideline for reference by colleagues.
