Abstract

Hepatic tumors include hepatocellular cancer (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CC), a small subgroup of tumors (approx. 1%) are classified as combined hepatocellularcholangiocellular carcinomas. Different stage-dependent therapeutic approaches comprise resection, local ablative techniques, locoregional therapies, systemic treatment, liver transplantation in selected cases and possible combination of these treatment modalities. This review summarizes current knowledge on multi-modal treatment strategies for liver cancer focusing on gastrointestinal side effects.
