The progressive nature of chronic viral hepatitis B and C is likely to lead to an increase in morbidity and mortality. It is projected that the burden of disease from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) will rise significatly over the coming years. Despite accumulating knowledge regarding the risk factors of HCC, the screening procedures in place, and advances in therapeutic strategies, the prognosis of HCC continues to remain poor.
This volume covers comprehensively recent developments on the diagnosis, screening and medical and surgical management of HCC, and is essential reading for gastroenterologists, hepatologists, liver surgeons, hepatobiliary surgeons, oncologists and others working in the field of HCC.
