Abstract

Introduction: The impairment of liver function strongly limits the therapeutic options for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and the assessment of liver function is key to finding the appropriate therapy for patients suffering from this disease. Furthermore, preexisting liver dysfunction has a negative impact on the prognosis of patients in addition to the malignant potential of HCC. Hence, defining the optimal treatment of patients with HCC requires a comprehensive examination with liver function being a crucial part of it.

Areas covered: This review will provide an overview of the currently existing methods for evaluating the liver function in patients with HCC. Assessment of liver function includes scoring systems but also functional and technical methods. In addition, the role of these tests in different treatment facilities such as liver resection, transplantation, interventional and systemic therapy is summarized.

Expert opinion: A comprehensive pretherapeutic assessment of the liver function includes laboratory-based scoring systems, as well as imaging- and non-imaging-based functional tests. Combining diverse parameters can help to improve the safety and efficacy of HCC therapy particularly in patients with compromised liver function. Future research should focus on optimizing pretherapeutic assessment recommendations for each therapy.

期刊介绍: The enormous health and economic burden of gastrointestinal disease worldwide warrants a sharp focus on the etiology, epidemiology, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and development of new therapies. By the end of the last century we had seen enormous advances, both in technologies to visualize disease and in curative therapies in areas such as gastric ulcer, with the advent first of the H2-antagonists and then the proton pump inhibitors - clear examples of how advances in medicine can massively benefit the patient. Nevertheless, specialists face ongoing challenges from a wide array of diseases of diverse etiology.
