Book excerpt: • Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) used to be regarded as a rare disease. However, the increasing numbers of chronic HCC carriers in the U.S. and subsequent increased incidences of HCC seen in most large medical centers means that it is no longer an uncommon disease for gastroenterologists or oncologists to encounter and its incidence and epidemiology are changing. During this exciting time in the field of HCC basic science and clinical management, many changes are simultaneously occurring at multiple levels of our understanding and management of the disease. Suddenly, there are several new choices of therapy to offer patients. Hepatocellular Carcinoma, 3rd edition addresses this fast-changing disease and gives the reader a clearer understanding of the many mechanisms involved in carcinogenesis of the liver. This comprehensive and detailed review of how to diagnose and treat hepatocellular carcinoma is written by international leaders in the field, covering both clinical treatment choices and the basic science underlying HCC development. Updated and enhanced from the last edition in 2009, Hepatocellular Carcinoma, 3rd edition features 12 new chapters including discussion of molecular markers, molecular hepatocarcinogenesis, microenvironment, heterogeneity, the new and exciting contributions of immunotherapy, and updates on the major effective hepatitis therapies that will transform HCC incidence and perhaps also the therapy. This cutting-edge text is a vital resource and must-have for today’s hepatologists and medical and surgical oncologists. "This is a well written text and should be a good reference book for those who see patients with HCC.." - Practical Gastroenterology "...a useful tool for both physicians and surgeons with a specific interest in the management of patients with HCC." - Digestive and Liver Disease

Download or read book Hepatocellular Carcinoma written by Costin Teodor Streba and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2018-11-28 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) currently ranks as the third most common cause of death. As the primary malignancy of the liver is directly related to an underlying liver condition, its incidence and profile are expected to change soon. While effective prevention programs and antiviral therapies for hepatitis B and C will lower the incidence of HCC, emerging socioeconomic issues will deliver new at-risk populations. Moreover, diagnostic techniques and protocols have undergone significant advancements. Reliance on contrast enhanced ultrasound has been re-evaluated, imaging methods being considered as sufficient diagnostic tools. Molecular characterization remains desirable, since chemotherapeutic agents still have limited applicability. In light of recent diagnostic advancements and novel therapeutic solutions, it is our belief that a comprehensive update on recent paradigm shifts and interesting upcoming developments is highly needed.

Download or read book Identification and Characterization of Molecular Targets in Hepatocellular Carcinoma written by Vinay Kumar and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-07-21 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: the field of oncology and is the most common form of liver cancer. In some cases, HCC can be treated through surgery and ablations but can be extended to a full transplant. Risk factors for HCC have been elucidated in previous years, linking hepatitis viruses, diabetes, and alcohol-dependent conditions to the pathogenesis of HCC. Given the prevalence of HCC in global populations (currently >800,000 new cases per year, and rising), there is a requirement to identify molecular targets in HCC and develop new therapeutic strategies to manage and treat HCCs. New technologies and techniques, including gene sequencing, bioinformatics, and liquid biopsy, have helped identify molecular and genetic players involved in the development of HCC. As such, a comprehensive genetic/immune signature of HCC would be invaluable in the development of new therapeutics and treatment strategies, as well as early identification and management of HCC. There are currently various trials that implement a combination of already approved drugs to better the prognosis of patients suffering from HCC. There is, however, still room for improvement, and as our understanding of the various factors involved in HCC improves, so will the prognosis of patients suffering from HCC globally. This Research Topic aims to highlight the molecular and genetic targets that lead to the progression of Hepatocellular Carcinoma. We welcome Original Research, Reviews, and other article types.
