Abstract：Partial hepatectomy remains the main“curative”treatment strategy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The combined use of surgery with other treatment modalities is used increasingly. The aims of treatment include:(1)decrease tumor recurrence by neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy;(2)treat-ment strategy to increase resectability by increasing volume of future liver remnant;(3)tumor downstaging followed by sal-vage surgery. However,it is still unclear whether the combina-tion therapies are effective. More studies are needed to define their roles in the curative treatment of HCC.
