Clin Liver Dis. 2001 Feb;5(1):175-89. doi: 10.1016/s1089-3261(05)70160-4.

Abstract

Given the poor prognosis of HCC and the therapeutic challenge posed by underlying liver cirrhosis, efforts and resources must be directed towards preventive strategies. Return on the investment in such research is likely to be greater than can be expected from treatment of advanced disease.
