title: [Systemic chemotherapy of liver cancer and patient follow-up].
abstract: We have many possibilities how to treat hepatocellular carcinoma. These therapeutic options depend on the stage of the disease, the condition of the patient and the available therapeutic modalities. At present, none of these treatments are fully successful and the results of systemic treatments are very poor. This paper introduces the role of systemic therapy concerning to prevention, curative and palliative treatments. As well, we emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and patient's follow up.
