This book provides up-to-date information on the development and progression of hepatocellular
carcinoma (HCC) with a review of the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the disease
process. Recent research in HCC has led to significant progress in our understanding of the
cellular processes and molecular mechanisms that occur during multi-stage events that lead to
hepatocarcinogenesis. The emergence of micro RNAs and molecular targeted therapies have added a
new dimension in our efforts to combat this deadly disease Chapters include discussion and
evaluation of current intervention strategies and therapeutic options and a focus on the novel
approaches that are being pursued such as micro-RNA based therapies and personalized medicine
to treat liver cancer. This book will be of interest to basic and clinical researchers as well
as to drug developers.
