Core Tip	Previous studies comparing hepatectomy with other nonsurgical treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) evaluated which provided superior survival benefit. However, considering the high recurrence rate after curative loco-regional treatment, and limited indications for hepatectomy because of background liver damage, it is important to recognize hepatectomy as a complement to other nonsurgical treatment, rather than a contraindication. A multidisciplinary approach combining and repeating different treatments prolongs patients’ survival with HCC, including those with recurrent or initially unresectable tumors.
