Abstract

<p>Liver cancer, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is the fifth most common cause of cancer deaths in Japan. The main treatment options for HCC are surgical resection, liver transplantation, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), and systemic chemotherapy. Here, recent medical treatments for HCC, including surgery, percutaneous ablation, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization/transcatheter arterial embolization, and drug therapy, are reviewed with a focus on Japan.</p>
