Infos

This book covers the huge advances made in clinical diagnosis
enabling earlier detection, while addressing the recent progress
made in treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to enable
successful therapy.

It draws on the expertise of an internationally recognized
author famed for his understanding, knowledge and efforts in
defining terms and diagnosis in this area.

The text reviews the full range of pathological information of
HCC based on the study of surgical cases and biopsy materials,
along with images, to help compare findings that may be encountered
by pathologists. It also makes special reference to developments in
early stage HCC detection and premalignant lesions which can
increase effective treatment.
