Core Tip	Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), depending on the stage, has several treatment options including surgery, radiotherapy and biological agents such as Sorafenib. For both practitioners and patients these treatment modalities all offer advantages and disadvantages over one another. The question of when to use each modality remains an active field of debate. In order to provide clarity in this regard, we review currently used treatment methods along with the relevant data supporting or refuting them. Additionally, we then discuss molecular pathways involved in HCC that could be, and in some cases already are being, exploited for potential future drug therapy.
