Management of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Hepatocellular carcinoma is the fifth most common cancer in the world and is the third cause of cancer-related death with varying prevalence according to endemic risk factors. Despite therapeutic advances, there has not been significant improvement in the overall survival of patients who have hepatocellular cancer in the last 2 decades. Treatment selection should be based on tumor characteristics and the underlying liver disease.
