Core Tip Advanced stage hepatocellular carcinoma comprehends a wide range of patients with different general conditions. The main therapeutic option is represented by sorafenib. Although the treatment has shown a significant increase in mean overall survival, only a part of patients actually shows benefits. Differentiating responder from non-responder patients is a pivotal challenge for the future. In particular, finding parameters quantitatively describing perfusion grade, and then able to predict the sensitivity of the lesions to anti-angiogenic agents could help stratifying patients in terms of responsiveness before the beginning of the therapy itself. This would bring a great help in management of these patients.
