Book description
Clinical Dilemmas in Liver Cancer follows the successful format of the
other books in the Clinical Dilemmas series, with each chapter focused
on a specific dilemma, or issue facing doctors in their day-to-day job,
and providing them with practical clinical information and help to
better assessment and treat their patients - in this case patients
suffering from liver cancer, the third commonest cancer in terms of
mortality worldwide.
Chapters feature up-to-date information on the basic mechanisms,
epidemiological risk factors, screening and surveillance strategies,
diagnosis and treatment. It is an extremely practical and
clinically-orientated book, and as most patients around the world
present with advanced disease, a main focus is on the most recent
advances allowing early diagnosis and use of locoregional and systemic
therapy, surgery, transplantation and combination therapies. Each
chapter is authored by an international expert in the relevant area.
