Based on these facts, the journal ‘Liver Cancer’ serves the growing need to better understand the causes, mechanisms and therapy of the malignancy. It provides the international community of researchers and clinicians with a platform for their research results, focusing on molecular carcinogenesis, prevention, surveillance, diagnosis and treatment, including molecular targeted therapy, of the disease. 'Liver Cancer' publishes clinical and translational research related to the field of liver cancer in both humans and experimental models in the form of original and review articles.
