Hepatocellular Carcinoma

It was not long ago that the incidence rate of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) approximated the mortality rate. Due to the causative relationship between chronic viral infection, chronic inflammation, hepatotoxins, and hepatocellular carcinoma, this cancer is responsible for nearly one million deaths yearly worldwide. The last years have seen tremendous progress in diagnosis and treatment of this common cancer. The current book edited by Professor Xiujun Cai comprehensively summarizes the current understanding of this disease within the context of patient treatment and outcome.
