Core Tip	There are movements to divide the intermediate stage of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) because of the diversity of intermediate-stage patients. This review describes two substaging systems (Bolondi substaging system and substaging system proposed by Japanese Society of Transcatheter Hepatic Arterial Embolization) that subclassify intermediate-stage HCCs and discusses the importance of dividing intermediate-stage patients.
