Core Tip	The present review reports the results of surgery beyond the barcelona clinic liver cancer recommendations. Recent studies have reported that surgical resection can result in good short- and long-term survival in patients with early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal hypertension and in patients with intermediate-advanced HCC. A careful preoperative evaluation, including liver function and remnant volume assessment, is mandatory before liver resection in HCC patients. An understanding of the biological behaviour of these tumours through molecular biology studies may be useful in choosing the optimal treatment strategy.
