Popis: For a decade, sorafenib was the only available treatment option for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The surge in systemic therapies for the treatment of HCC patients over the past five years resulted in significantly prolonged survival and improved quality of life. However, due to the lack of predictive biomarkers of treatment response, it has also introduced challenges in clinical decision-making. This article provides an overview of the complexities in the treatment of patients with HCC.
