TY - JOUR AU - Ercolani, Giorgio AU - Cucchi, Michele PY - 2018 TI - Surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma can provide the same life-expectancy as transplant of that of general population JF - Hepatobiliary Surgery and Nutrition; Vol 8, No 2 (April 04, 2019): Hepatobiliary Surgery and Nutrition (Special Focus on Antibodies and Liver Transplantation: Part 2) Y2 - 2018 KW - N2 - When deciding for the optimal treatment to adopt in patients suffering from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the surgical approach is commonly considered as the most curative option (1,2).
