There are three types of therapy including surgery, locoregional, and systemic. The therapy is also divided into invasive, minimally invasive, and non-invasive therapy. This literature review aims to facilitate the review of the Hepatocellular Carcinoma. Scientific related questions, databases to be used, selection of keywords, inclusion and exclusion criteria, definition of results and conclusions of selected articles are all elements included in this research search strategy. At the end e met some articles that fit the criteria and conclude that is a deadly disease with high mortality and morbidity because in the early stage HCC is generally asymptomatic.
