Interpretation on the Updated Points of Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Primary Liver Cancer (2022 Edition)

Abstract

Since the publication of the Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Primary Liver Cancer (2019 Edition), many new high-level evidence in line with evidence-based medicine has emerged in the diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer at home and abroad, especially, a number of research results in line with Chinese liver cancer patients have been published. In order to further standardize the diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer in China, the National Health Commission organized multidisciplinary experts in the field of liver cancer to revise and update the Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Primary Liver Cancer (2022 Edition), aiming to increase the overall cancer 5-year survival rate by 15%, a goal mentioned in the ' Healthy China 2030' Planning Outline. We interpret the main update points of the 2022 version, with the hope of promoting the widespread discussion and dissemination of the new version.
