CIRRHOSIS
All patients with HCC in whom upfront surgery is precluded because of insufficient function of the FLR will be included. These are patients with HCC and preserved liver function who have nodules larger than 2 segments, and are not suitable candidates for radiofrequency ablation or liver transplantation (for example in the case of cirrhosis). Insufficient FLR function is defined as a HIDA scan clearance of 1.5—2.7%/min/m
