| Core Tip |
Guidelines on the surgical management of hepatocellular carcinoma have been recently adapted to the prioritization of health resources to the care of patients with COVID-19. There has been a reduction in hepatic resection and liver transplant activity, which need to be restricted to very selected cases. For patients in whom surgery cannot be performed in due time, alternative or delaying strategies, mostly ablation or transarterial therapies, should be considered. The decision on surgical management should be based on risk stratification and the balance between the increased risk of COVID-19 infection, the urgency of the intervention, and the oncological effects of delayed treatment and shared with patients. |
