Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Good management of patients at risk for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma includes regular ultrasound surveillance, and aggressive management of lesions detected at ultrasound. Good radiology and good pathology are essential to the appropriate management of these small lesions. With good quality testing it is possible to cure the majority of HCCs using minimally invasive techniques such as radiofrequency ablation. Such an approach has the potential to convert HCC from a disease in which incidence more or less equaled mortality to one in which cure is frequently possible. |
