Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of malignancy and the leading cause of death in patients with cirrhosis. Despite recent advances in the screening, diagnosis, and treatment options for patients with HCC, it remains one of the leading causes of cancer mortality in the USA and worldwide. While about 20% of patients with HCC present with stage IV disease, these patients have a five-year survival of about 3%. These estimates highlight the importance of the unmet need to improve screening programs, diagnostic methods, and treatment options for patients with HCC.
In this Special Issue, we aim to present a series of research articles that focus on screening, diagnosis and treatment options for patients with HCC. We welcome basic science, transitional, and clinical studies.
