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

Figure 2. Examples of limitations, associated with each therapeutic approach, contributing to treatment unfeasibility in HCC across the four dimensions: Technical Feasibility, Resources, Equity, and Values and Acceptability. Unfeasibility, indicated by the arrow, progressively increases with the curative potential of the treatment, such as in liver resection and transplantation.
