Imaging of treatment response during systemic therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma

This article will review the systemic therapies currently approved for the treatment of HCC, focusing on items most pertinent to radiologists. Treatment response assessment of patients with HCC undergoing systemic therapy differs from treatment response assessment of patients receiving locoregional therapies, and principle differences will be highlighted. Finally, this review will provide a framework for the interpretation of CT and MRI examinations of patients with HCC being treated with systemic therapy and will explore the relevant scientific data currently available.
