✦ Synopsis

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the setting of cirrhosis continues to increase in both the United States and abroad because of the widespread incidence of hepatitis B and C. Before the advent of transplantation, liver resection was the only method to achieve cure. However, resection is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, and many patients do not have sufficient hepatic reserve to tolerate removal of enough hepatic mass to achieve complete tumor resection with diseasefree tissue margins.

1. The lack of whole-liver explant correlation has led to an overestimation of the sensitivity of imaging tests for the diagnosis of HCC in the radiological literature. 2. Ultrasound is insensitive for the diagnosis of HCC in the cirrhotic liver and should not be used for the detection of focal live
