This text fills a gap in today's market place for a fully synthesized practical approach to HCC patient management with literature review. The authors of each chapter combine their experience to summarize diagnostic and therapeutic decision making for various problems. These problems that need to be addressed range from tumors in the liver transplant, role for neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, intra-arterial vs. intravenous therapy, uses of embolisation, significance of portal vein thrombus, benefits and dangers of biopsy, and more, making this an essential title for all physicians treating HCC patients.

?Understanding Liver Cancer is a concise and up-to-date review, which discusses diagnosis, management, patient care, current and emerging therapies, and useful resources that clinicians can provide to their patients.

This book aims to illuminate the causes, incidence, and treatments of Hepatocellular Carcinoma(HCC) or liver cancer in the politically important and societally diverse region of the Middle East. Taking a flexible and inclusive view, it examines the influences of geography, crops and diet, ethnicity, and local behavior on both diagnosis and outcomes of this disease. Understanding the different causes of liver cancer enables effective strategies for both prevention and early diagnosis while knowledge of the different treatment modalities, their uses and limitations, availability and costs, works to inform rational treatment provision and selection. Divided into four sections, this book considers the causes and clinical syndromes associated with HCC, provides a detailed overview of clinical HCC and treatment modalities, describes country-specific clinical HCC experience and practice, and considers future needs and the potential for HCC collaborations across the region.Liver Cancer in the Middle East is a useful resource for clinicians seeking insight into the second highest cause of death from cancer worldwide, governments planning social and medical services for their peoples, as well as for international aid agencies prioritizing donations.
