Novel preoperative strategies to improve hepatocellular carcinoma resectability

Peng et al.(1)performed a pretty interesting article,reporting the proposal of a new strategy to improve resectability for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Their findings are exciting.Preoperative strategies to improve liver resection are methods for promoting future liver remnant(FLR)growth in a timely manner before cancer disseminates.The main strategies are portal vein embolization(PVE)and associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy(ALPPS).
