Abstract:
Surgery has been the standard treatment modality for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, however, controversy exists as to 1. which treatment is better for small HCC (surgery versus local ablation), 2. surgical indication for advanced HCC with multiple tumors, tumor thrombus, or extrahepatic metastasis, and 3. indication of liver transplantation. These points were discussed reviewing our results and current papers.
