Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment options have expanded significantly with the advent of multi-kinase inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitors. In addition to drug therapy, there have been remarkable advances in liver transplantation, minimally invasive surgery, the technology involved in ablation therapy, the choice of embolization materials and anticancer drugs for embolization therapy, and radiation therapy. Modern HCC treatment requires not only curative treatment of early-stage lesions, but also the construction of new treatment systems that lead to a cure for advanced HCC and appropriate treatment of recurrent HCC. In addition, NASH and alcoholic liver cancers are expected to increase as viral hepatitis is controlled. The management of side effects in these non-viral HCCs may differ due to differences in drug sensitivity, accompanied with diabetes mellitus and hypertension. In this Special Issue, we call for papers from a wide range of medical, surgical, and radiological perspectives on treatment strategies for advanced disease, approaches to recurrent disease, and management of side effects associated with treatment in the new era of HCC practice.
