Abstract
Liver cancer, whether primary or secondary, is one of the most difficult to treat among malignant solid tumors, with a miserable prognosis. In view of the relative lack of exciting progress in the management of metastatic liver cancer in recent years this lecture necessarily concerns primary liver cancer, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Time permits coverage of only several important aspects of general interest and recent advances in the study of HCC.Keywords
