Successful multimodal management of a large hepatocellular carcinoma in a non-cirrhotic liver: a case report

DISCUSSION: HCC in non-cirrhotic liver is less common than in cirrhotic liver but has a better prognosis, thanks to a greater opportunity for surgical resection. The symptoms often emerge late and are unspecific, thus delaying the HCC diagnosis. Advances in surgical resection by laparotomy or laparoscopy, and neoadjuvant therapy in preparation for surgery, have proven to be effective. However, high mortality persists due to late diagnosis linked to the inability of identifying groups at risk of HCC in the non-cirrhotic population and inadequate screening.PMID:37482686 | DOI:10.1080/00015458.2023.2234724
