title: Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Review of Epidemiology, Screening, Imaging Diagnosis, Response Assessment, and Treatment.
abstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma is a common malignancy for which prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance demand a multidisciplinary approach. Knowledge of the underlying pathophysiology as well as advances in clinical management should be employed by radiologists to effectively communicate with hepatologists, surgeons, and oncologists. In this review article, we present recent developments in the clinical management of hepatocellular carcinoma.
