Core Tip	Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence represents an important clinical challenge due to its negative impact on overall patient survival. The predictors of HCC recurrence, based mainly on HCC radiological features (i.e., number and size of HCC nodules), have enabled early diagnosis thereby drastically reducing the HCC recurrence rate and, hence, patient survival. However, other more efficacious predictors are needed in order to further reduce the HCC recurrence rate. This review describes the more clinically useful predictors of the different imaging techniques and the molecular features of HCC recurrence according to the available therapeutic strategies.
