Pathology of Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Masamichi Kojiro covers the vast advances made in clinical diagnosis aiding earlier detection, while addressing the recent progress made in treatment of HCC to enable successful therapy.
It reviews the full range of pathological information of HCC based on the study of surgical cases and biopsy materials, along with images, to help compare findings that may be encountered by pathologists.
The developments in imaging have also led to the identification of equivocal small nodular lesions suggestive of premalignant lesions or early-stage HCC. These present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for both pathologists and clinicians. This text makes special reference to developments in detection of early-stage HCC and premalignant lesions which can increase effective treatment.
