Imaging in staging, treatment planning, and monitoring of hepatocellular carcinoma for local and locoregional therapies: consensus recommendations from EORTC and ESGAR
Question There are clear recommendations for the respective therapies/disease stages in HCC, but only to a limited extent for all-around imaging of local therapies. Findings This study conveyed a Delphi consensus-finding survey amongst European experts from multiple medical fields to standardize the periinterventional imaging of HCC patients. Clinical relevance These recommendations can guide both daily clinical practice and prospective trials focused on local and locoregional therapies.
