Opis: Hepatocellular Carcinoma - J. WY. Lau, Anthony S-.Y. Leong, C.T. Liew

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. All the clinical chapters were written with very concise formats, yet with enough details to help not only general physicians, but also experts in hepatology.Oncology...most useful for physicians who wish to excel in this fieldOncologyEpidemiology, risk facts, etiology, premalignant lesions and carcinomas / Clinical aspects and approach to diagnosis / Tumor markers / Diagnostic imaging / Fine needle aspiration cytology diagnosis of primary liver cancer / Pathology of hepatocellular carcinoma / Needle biopsy diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma / Molecular aspects / Surgical management / Non-surgical management / Management of specific tumor complications / Palliative care / Hepatocellular carcinoma in other regions of the world (Africa, Europe, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, USA) / Future prospects.
