Theranostics and Precision Medicine for the Management of Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Volume 1: Biology and Pathophysiology

Theranostics and Precision Medicine for the Management of Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Volume One: Biology and Pathophysiology provides comprehensive information about ongoing research and clinical data surrounding liver cancer. The book presents detailed descriptions about diagnostics and therapeutic options for easy understanding, with a focus on precision medicine approaches to improve treatment outcomes. This volume discusses topics such as tumor microenvironment in hepatocellular carcinoma, endoplasmic reticulum stress and unfolded protein response, effects of cirrhosis and hepatitis on the prognosis of HCC, mitochondrial metabolism, next generation sequencing, and telomerase. In addition, it discusses exosomes role in HCC progression, metastasis and chemokines. This is a valuable resource for cancer researchers, oncologists, graduate students, hepathologists and members of biomedical research who need to understand more about liver cancer for their research work or clinical setting. Provides an updated literature review and detailed understanding of liver cancer tumor biology Discusses abnormal changes in the liver caused, resulting from, or associated with hepatocellular carcinoma from a holistic view Presents the content with fully colored images and summarizing tables for easy understanding of complex topics INDICE: 1.
