Core Tip Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma-related jaundice should first be evaluated for a mechanical obstructive component rather than assumed to have irreversible liver failure. Endoscopic or percutaneous drainage may relieve cholestasis and allow treatment reassessment, but response definitions vary and apparent survival advantages are vulnerable to selection bias. Transarterial chemoembolization has the largest direct post-drainage evidence base; hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy, radiotherapy, systemic therapy, and transplantation are supported mainly by small retrospective studies, case reports, or extrapolation. Drainage modality and subsequent treatment should be individualized by a multidisciplinary team, with clinical trials preferred whenever feasible.
