- Hepatology
- Transplantation Surgery
Background:
- Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent malignancy globally.
- Common sites for HCC metastasis include the lungs, lymph nodes, and bones.
- Risk factors for extrahepatic spread include advanced intrahepatic disease, vascular invasion, and viral hepatitis.
