1 INITIAL EVALUATION TREATMENT SURVEILLANCE History and physical; CBC/differential; Liver function tests; Viral labs if not known (HBV core and surface Abs; HCV Ab, and RNA if Ab positive; HIV serology if HCV Ab positive or HBV core Ab positive); alphafetoprotein (AFP), Creatinine and Electrolytes, PT/INR; Triple Phase CT or MRI of abdomen and pelvis, CT of chest PET Scan; lipid profile, Hemoglobin AC and PET scan. Consider consult if indicated. Hepatology for chronic liver disease or HBV treatment 2.Infectious Diseases for HCV or HIV treatment. Liver-only Disease Metastatic Disease Resectable,2 or transplantable 3? Consider biomarkers (See appendix A for MDA Approved Hepatocellular Biomarkers) 2 Minor or Major Resection based on: Minor Resection: Child-Pugh A, normal liver function tests (bilirubin less than or equal.0 mg%), absence of ascites, and platelet count greater than 00,000/mm 3 Major Resection: Same as minor resection plus absence of portal hypertension, portal vein embolization (PVE) for a small future liver remnant. 3 Milan criteria; criteria for eligibility for liver transplantation for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and cirrhosis: the presence of a tumor 5 cm or less in diameter in patients with single hepatocellular carcinomas, or no more than three tumor nodules, each 3 cm or less in diameter, in patients with multiple tumors, and without macrovascular invasion per imaging studies. 4 See Appendix B for ECOG Performance Status 5 CLIP refer to Appendix C for determination of CLIP score 6 Child-Pugh refer to Appendix D for Child-Pugh scores 7 Treatment may be considered in select cases with Bilirubin 2-3 mg/dl Isolated metastasis? Yes No Yes No Surgery See Page 2 for unresectable tumors Treat isolated metastasis first Performance status 0-2 4, CLIP 5 0-3, and Child A B 6 and Bilirubin less than or equal to 2 mg/dl Performance status 4 greater than 2, CLIP 5 4-6, or Child C 6 or Bilirubin greater than 2 mg/dl 7 History and physical, CBC, Liver function tests, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), electrolytes, INR Triple Phase CT of abdomen, CT of chest every 4 months for 2 years, then every 6 months for 3 years, then annually Further treatment based on primary liver lesions Systemic treatment (sorafenib) Best Supportive Care
