Abstract:
Surgery-led comprehensive treatment is an important consensus in the management of liver carcinoma. Hepatectomy and liver transplantation are the most important means for patients with liver carcinoma to achieve long-term survival. With the development of liver surgery techniques, liver surgery is no longer off-limits. Translational therapy offers the hope of surgical radical treatment for patients with initially unresectable liver carcinoma. This article discusses the conversion therapy for unresectable liver carcinoma with future liver remnant surgery, the downstaging conversion therapy of oncologically unresectable intermediate to advanced liver carcinoma, the timing of surgery after conversion, and safety and efficacy. Prospect for the formation of the standardization of translational therapy for liver carcinoma is made.
