Eligible studies included comparisons between MDT and non-MDT care, as well as studies without a comparison group.

The combination of ICI and antiangiogenic or dual ICIs has become the new standard of care due to remarkable response rates. However, currently available systemic regimens are primarily reserved for certain patients in the intermediate and advanced stages who will not benefit from locoregional treatments. Evidence supporting the use of systemic treatment as neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapies in patients with early-stage HCC, especially the high risk of recurrence after curative treatments, remains limited. This review identified recent developments in systemic therapy, including mTKIs and ICIs, considering results on first- and second-line treatment, role of neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings, and combination with loco-regional therapy. Various ongoing clinical trials regarding the role of systemic therapies and potential novel targets in patients with early-, intermediate-, and advanced-stage HCC were also summarized and revealed that systemic therapy is no longer limited to advanced-stage HCC.
