Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the last few years, there has been a seismic shift in the available therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Multidisciplinary care encompasses surgical, interventional radiology, transplant, radiation and systemic therapy options, including the potential use of systemic therapies for HCC in the neo-adjuvant, adjuvant and advanced settings.

This Special Issue is looking for original manuscripts and reviews to explore all areas of treatment, including the following:

  1. Screening approaches;
  2. Cirrhosis management in the setting of HCC;
  3. Molecular classification, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers;
  4. New approaches in both interventional radiology, radiation, and surgical procedures;
  5. Approaches of neo-adjuvant strategies and adjuvant therapies;
  6. Multi-modality therapy in the advanced and metastatic setting;
  7. Therapy sequencing in early and advanced disease;
  8. Developments in immunotherapy and immunotherapy-based combinations.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
