Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a neoplasm characterized by both clinical and biological heterogeneity. Its management requires the expertise of multiple medical specialists and is made complex by the old age of most patients, frequently showing comorbidities. Therefore, HCC management needs a multidisciplinary approach. The aim of this article is to illustrate multi-society recommendations regarding the management of HCC patients, from diagnosis to treatment and follow-up. In particular, in every stage, HCC treatment comprises multiple alternatives and the best option for every patient should be decided by a multidisciplinary team.
