title: Randomized clinical trials in hepatocellular carcinoma and biliary cancer.
abstract: Primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains among the most common malignancies in the world. Many of the advances in the treatment of this disease have come from combinations of early detection in endemic areas, improved radiologic evaluation in defining extent of disease, an increased use of nonsurgical treatment and improvements in surgical technique.
