摘      要：Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is one of the most frequent neoplasms worldwide and in most cases it is associated with liver *** resection is considered the most potentially curative therapy for HCC patients when liver transplantation is not an option or is not immediately *** review is aimed at investigating the current concepts that drive the surgical choice in the treatment of HCC in cirrhotic patients;Eastern and Western perspectives are *** extensive literature review of the last two decades was performed,on topics covering various aspects of hepatic *** post-operative and long-term outcome measures adopted were firstly analyzed in an attempt to define an optimal standardization useful for research *** need to avoid the development of post-hepatectomy liver failure represents the conditio sine qua non of surgical choice and the role of the current tools available for the assessment of liver function reserve were *** of hepatic resection in relationship with tumor burden were compared with those of available competing strategies,namely,radiofrequency ablation for early stages,and trans-arterial chemoembolization for intermediate and advanced ***,the choice for anatomical versus non-anatomical,as well as the role of laparoscopic approach,was *** literature review suggests that partial hepatectomy for HCC should be considered in the context of multi-disciplinary evaluation of cirrhotic *** research on HCC has moved,in recent years,from surgical therapy toward non-surgical approaches and most of the literature regarding topics debated in the present review is represented by observational studies,whereas very few well-designed randomized controlled trials are currently available;thus,no robust recommendations can be derived.
