Surgical options include partial hepatectomy (removing the affected portion of liver while preserving function), radiofrequency ablation for smaller tumors, and in select cases, liver transplantation when indicated by disease burden and organ availability. For patients not surgical candidates, targeted therapies such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies are offered based on molecular tumor profiling; these precision medicine approaches allow treatment to be tailored to specific cancer characteristics rather than applying one-size-fits-all protocols. Interventional radiological procedures including transarterial chemoembolization and radioembolization are available in Turkish centers for intermediate-stage disease. Immunotherapy options, increasingly important in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, are accessible and often at lower cost than in Brazil due to negotiated pharmaceutical pricing. Multidisciplinary tumor boards—comprising hepatobiliary surgeons, medical oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists—review every case to ensure that treatment recommendations reflect current evidence and individual patient factors. This comprehensive approach, combined with experienced teams and modern equipment, ensures that Turkish facilities offer the full spectrum of liver cancer care options available globally.
