Abstract: | Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is among the most common malignancies worldwide. Recent surveillance programs have allowed
early detection and diagnosis, but overall survival of patients with HCC remains poor. This article provides a definition
for localized HCC and summarizes the array of treatments that have emerged and the salient literature and findings for each.
Among the treatments reviewed here are surgical resection, orthotopic liver transplantation, and local ablative therapies
such as cryosurgery, percutaneous ethanol injection therapy, and transarterial chemoembolization. |
