Overview

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer, originating in hepatocytes, the main functional cells of the liver. It most often affects middle-aged and older adults and is commonly associated with risk factors such as chronic hepatitis B and C virus infection, heavy alcohol consumption, smoking, obesity, and dietary exposure to aflatoxins. Because the disease often presents late and carries a serious prognosis, early diagnosis and treatment are central to improving survival, and much research focuses on the underlying biology and on markers that aid detection. Articles in this journal explore hepatocellular carcinoma and related liver disease from biological and clinical perspectives. Studies examine angiogenic markers including Tie2, CD14, and angiopoietin in HCC complicating hepatitis C, the role of alpha-fetoprotein and its receptor as oncofetal antigens, and a case of central retinal vein occlusion in the context of HCC. Additional contributions consider trends in chronic liver disease through hospital-based studies, the reduction of aflatoxicosis in experimental animals, and molecular and immunogenomic approaches to cancer and infectious disease. Together these works present hepatocellular carcinoma as a subject spanning hepatology, oncology, virology, and experimental and comparative biology.
