Core Tip
Core Tip: Survival after radical surgery for liver cancer remain poor, with important perioperative complications and many organ recurrences. Prognostic scores have been developed and validated to select those patients who will best benefit from radical liver surgery, although the final general and oncological outcomes continue to be highly jeopardized. Some novel prognostic markers, including immune inflammatory and nutritional indexes could be of great help in better stratify surgical candidates.
