The Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL) convened an international working party on the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in December 2008 to develop consensus recommendations.
The working party consisted of expert hepatologist, hepatobiliary surgeon, radiologist, and oncologist from Asian-Pacific region, who were requested to make drafts prior to the consensus meeting held at Bali, Indonesia on 4 December 2008. The quality of existing evidence and strength of recommendations were ranked from 1 (highest) to 5 (lowest) and from A (strongest) to D (weakest), respectively, according to the Oxford system of evidence-based approach for developing the consensus statements.
Participants of the consensus meeting assessed the quality of cited studies and assigned grades to the recommendation statements. Finalized recommendations were presented at the fourth APASL single topic conference on viral-related HCC at Bali, Indonesia and approved by the participants of the conference.
亚太肝脏研究学会（APASL）于 2008 年 12 月召集了一个国际工作组，负责制定肝细胞癌（HCC）管理的共识建议。
工作组由来自亚太地区的专家级肝病学家、肝胆外科医生、放射科医生和肿瘤学家组成，他们在 2008 年 12 月 4 日于印度尼西亚巴厘岛举行的共识会议之前，被要求起草草案。根据牛津循证医学方法系统，对现有证据的质量和建议的强度进行排名，分别从 1（最高）到 5（最低）和从 A（最强）到 D（最弱）。
共识会议的参与者评估了引用研究的质量，并为建议声明分配了等级。最终的建议在印度尼西亚巴厘岛举行的第四届 APASL 病毒性 HCC 专题会议上提出，并得到了会议参与者的批准。
