Theranostics and Precision Medicine for the Management of Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Volume 2

Theranostics and Precision Medicine for the Management of Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Volume Two: Diagnosis, Therapeutic Targets and Molecular Mechanisms for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression provides comprehensive information about ongoing research and clinical data surrounding liver cancer. The book presents detailed descriptions about diagnostics and therapeutic options for easy understanding, with a focus on precision medicine approaches to improve treatment outcomes. The volume discusses topics such as computational approaches for identification of biomarkers, enzymes and pathways of HCC, circulating and epigenetic biomarkers, drug resistance, metabolic pathways, and small molecule-target therapies. In addition, it discusses immunotherapies, immune check point inhibitors and nanotechnology-based therapies.

This book is a valuable resource for cancer researchers, oncologists, graduate students, hepathologists and members of biomedical research who need to understand more about liver cancer to apply in their research work or clinical setting.

• Provides detailed information on traditional and novel diagnostic tools for hepatocellular carcinoma
• Discusses promising targeted therapies, both available and in development, explaining the best option to use for specific cases
• Brings recent findings in immunotherapies, immune checkpoint inhibitors and nanotechnology-based therapeutic approaches for treatment of HCC
