Abstract

The British Society of Gastroenterology commissioned an update on the guidelines for management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in adults at an opportune time.

This article, written on behalf of the HCC-UK committee, provides a commentary on the guidelines, with specific focus on areas of practice change.
