Clinical diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma: From guidelines to clinical practice

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), characterized by insidious onset, rapid progression, and poor treatment outcome, is a common malignant tumor that seriously affects the health of people. Therefore, various academic research associations in China and globally have released a number of evidence-based medicine guidelines for liver cancer, focusing on the key issues in the screening, diagnosis, and treatment of HCC, and made constant updates to these guidelines. Clinicians are recommended to comprehend these guidelines with reference to their own specialties, so as to gain a better understanding of the advances in the field of liver cancer and further improve the prognosis of HCC patients.
