Background and Aim:Although the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging system is widely used for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) staging, the most appropriate BCLC stage designation for single large HCC (SLHCC, single nodule >5cm) remains controversial. This study investigated the prognosis of patients with SLHCC.
