Hepatobiliary Cancers: An Interdisciplinary Approach

Hepatobiliary cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma and biliary tract cancers, have high rate of mortality and low survival rate.

The third volume of the Interdisciplinary Cancer Research series, entitled Hepatobiliary Cancers: An Interdisciplinary Approach publishes comprehensive volumes on mechanisms of hepatobiliary cancers and therapeutic modalities and presents the most updated and peer-reviewed chapters on hepatobiliary cancers. This interdisciplinary series is of special value to researchers working on cell biology, immunology, biochemistry, genetics, and practitioners working on oncology and gastroenterology. This is the main concept of Cancer Immunology Project (CIP), which is a part of Universal Scientific Education and Research Network (USERN). This interdisciplinary book will be of special value for researchers, oncologists, and gastroenterologists who wish to extend their knowledge on hepatobiliary cancers.

Describes interdisciplinary approaches on hepatobiliary cancers Includes a comprehensive coverage of hepatobiliary cancers Contains updated reviews on hepatobiliary cancer therapy
