Abstract
The therapeutic management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has achieved great advances in the past few years. Before the publication of the SHARP clinical trial, which showed the effectiveness of sorafenib in patients with advanced HCC, no effective systemic therapy was available and only transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) had shown an impact on survival in clinical trials.
