Beskrivning

Precision Oncology in Liver Cancer: Genomics, Infection, and the Exposome in African and Global Contexts explores liver cancer through the lens of precision medicine, integrating molecular profiling, environmental exposures, and targeted therapies. The book presents a multidisciplinary approach, covering infectious drivers like HBV/HCV, environmental carcinogens such as aflatoxins, and emerging tools including genomics, AI, and liquid biopsies. It emphasizes African-specific challenges and innovations, with case studies and comparative global insights. This volume equips researchers, clinicians, and policymakers with evidence-based strategies to address liver cancer disparities, offering a forward-looking framework for equitable cancer care and research in Africa and globally.

Integrates infection, genomics, and exposome science to provide a holistic understanding of liver cancer etiology and progression
Presents African case studies alongside global comparisons to contextualize challenges and showcase regionally relevant solutions
Includes future-focused chapters on AI, multi-omics, and ethical frameworks to guide innovation and equitable implementation
