Synopsis:

The only curative therapy available for hepatocellular carcinoma is surgery, although there have been rapid developments in investigative techniques leading to earlier diagnosis and enhanced survival rates. This text covers all aspects of presentation, investigation, diagnosis and management of hepatocellular carcinoma. It considers hepatocarcinogenesis at the molecular level, and discusses screening and prevention in addition to curative therapies. The international team of contributors have been selected to ensure different regional perspectives are given appropriate coverage. Although targeted primarily at clinicians such as hepatologists, oncologists and surgeons, this book should appeal to basic scientists working in the field.
