Abstract
- Liver cancer, specifically hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is a major global health concern due to its high prevalence in many countries. Risk factors for liver cancer include viral infections (hepatitis B and C), alcohol consumption, smoking, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Aflatoxin exposure can also lead to liver cancer by inducing mutations in DNA. Genetic factors also play a role in HCC, and early detection and prevention are crucial. This Special Issue titled "Liver Cancer 2.0" presents eight papers that offer significant insights into liver cancer, focusing on HCC. The papers cover various topics such as potential therapeutic targets, genetic factors, diagnostic markers, diagnostic methods, natural compounds for treatment, and the role of chemokines and the tumor microenvironment. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of liver-related diseases and offer valuable insights for researchers and clinicians in the field. [Extracted from the article]
