Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has changed, mainly due to the introduction of immunotherapies, but also due to different patient selection and the possibility of stage migration. However, although patient selection, nutritional aspects, portal hypertension characteristics and multidisciplinary approaches have identified patients with better outcomes, several subjects are resistant to treatment. The aim of this special issue is to understand the mechanisms of treatment resistance and explore new options, also with the use of artificial intelligence, to provide opportunities for effective disease management. This special issue is open to reviews and original research articles by 30 June 2026.
Dr. Alessandro Loglio
