- The optimal treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma has become increasingly complex with myriad of available
treatment options. Although recently the liver transplantation has been accepted the best treatment for survival,
the shortage of donor limits the extension of this procedures. As the neoadjuvant chemotherapy is being
increasingly employed to downsize colorectal metastasis, the clinical trials have been extended to the
hepatocellular carcinoma. Therefore we reviewed the use of liver resection following tumor downstaging with
chemotherapeutic agents and Radiation therapy to treat unresectable HCC.
