We have noted an improvement of outcomes among patients selected for partial hepatectomy in recent years that were comparable to stable results after LT in cirrhotic patients with HCC. Whether those improvements are due to advances in liver surgery, optimized perioperative managament for patients with liver cirrhosis, and the development of modern multimodal treatment strategies for the recurrent lesions appears plausible.
