Pages : 752
Book Description
Hepatocellular cancer is the fifth most common cancer, with 600,000 new cases reported each year worldwide. Additionally, exciting changes in the science of HCC in the last four years have turned the practice of diagnosing and treating the disease upside down. In Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Diagnosis and Treatment, Second Edition, the leading experts in the field of HCC thoroughly update and expand upon the critically acclaimed first edition with all the latest developments in the diagnosis and treatment of primary liver cancer. The book details for physicians the diagnostic and therapeutic decision making process for dealing with such problems as incidental tumors in the liver transplant, the role of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, intra-arterial vs intravenous therapy, the uses of embolization, and the significance of portal vein thrombus. New chapters discuss the introduction into clinical practice of cell cycle growth inhibitors, an expanded knowledge of Genomics and Proteomics, and novel ways of delivering intra-hepatic chemotherapy. This cutting-edge text is a vital resource and must have for today’s hepatologists and medical and surgical oncologists.

Pages : 242
Book Description
Hepatocellular carcinoma is a primary liver cancer. It is the most common cause of death in patients suffering from cirrhosis. Most individuals with hepatocellular carcinoma exhibit signs and symptoms consistent with chronic liver disease. Other risk factors that can contribute to an incidence of this condition include chronic hepatitis B and C, Type 2 diabetes, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, Wilson's disease, etc. The carcinoma can be detected through blood testing and imaging evaluation, especially MRI. The treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma and its prognosis depends on factors such as tumor size, spread, histology and patient health. Surgical resection, liver transplantation, arterial catheter-based treatment and systemic therapy are certain therapies for the management of hepatocellular carcinoma. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of hepatocellular carcinoma. The objective of this book is to give a general view of the diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. A number of latest researches have been included to keep the readers up-to-date with the global concepts in this area of study.

Pages : 201
Book Description
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.

Book Description
This publication has been written for students and professionals in radiation oncology and cancer control programmes. It serves as a source of information on treatment decisions with regard to hepatocelluar carcinoma (HCC) or liver cancer. Radiotherapy plays a major role in the treatment of HCC, which is one of the most common causes of cancer death globally. However, to date there were no uniform recommendations, and the use of radiotherapy is limited by pre-existing liver disease. The present publication reports the results of an assessment of the role of radiotherapy within the entire framework of HCC management. It may guide the appropriate use of limited resources towards the most appropriate indications, and help in differentiating approaches used for cure or palliation of HCC.
