The role of “treatment unfeasibility” in the multiparametric, multidisciplinary, and expert evaluation of HCC patients

Figure 1. Unfeasibility results from the interaction of four dimensions: Technical Feasibility (including patient-related technical factors, institutional factors, and temporal factors), Resources, Equity, and Values and Acceptability. These dimensions capture barriers to treatment realisation that emerge after a patient has been deemed clinically eligible through MTH criteria (Unfitness, Liver dysfunction, Critical tumour features). This integrative construct adapts the five GRADE EtD domains to individual-level clinical decision-making (see Supplementary Materials, Supplementary Table 1 for the complete mapping and Supplementary Table 2 for the expanded Technical Feasibility domain).
