2 Fig. 1 Staging and treatment according to the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) system. *Note that Child-Pugh classification is not sensitive enough to accurately identify those patients with advanced liver failure that would deserve liver transplant consideration. **Patients with end stage cirrhosis due to heavily impaired liver function (Child-Pugh C or earlier stages with predictors of poor prognosis, high MELD score) should be considered for liver transplantation. In these patients, HCC may become a contraindication if exceeding the enlistment criteria.
