Abstract

The treatment guidelines based on evidence-based medical evidence provide appropriate treatment strategies for clinical oncologists. Currently, many treatment guidelines for primary liver cancer have been published and updated by many organizations from different countries, including Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC), European Association for the Study of the Liver and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EASL-EORTC), American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD), National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), Asia-Pacific Primary Liver Cancer Expert (APPLE), Korean Liver Cancer Study Group and National Cancer Center (KLCSG-NCC), and Chinese Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (CSTRO), Chinese Medical Association.
