The proper management of HCC requires a multidisciplinary team with input from the radiologist, oncologist, surgeon, interventional radiologist, and pathologist. This team approach helps in patient selection for surgical and nonsurgical treatment. For the nonsurgical approach, both systemic and directed therapy should be considered, and the best option should be tailored to the individual patient. Advances in imaging techniques are leading to improved selection of patients for appropriate therapies. Newer, nonsurgical therapies are also in development and early implementation. Improvements in these and other therapeutic approaches may permit longer survival or allow patients with downgraded tumors to receive surgical options that would not have been otherwise feasible. In patients with FLHCC, the diagnosis may be suggested by imaging, but it is confirmed by histology. The prognosis for FLHCC is better th
