Product Description

This fifth volume of the series, Methods of Cancer Diagnosis, Therapy, and Prognosis, discusses in detail the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of Liver Cancer. Both standard and emerging therapies for this cancer, written by expert oncologists/pathologists in this field, are included.

This fully illustrated volume:

• Is divided into 7 sections: Applications of Imaging, Resectable Liver Cancer, Unresectable Liver Cancer, Hepatocellular Cancer, Liver Colorectal Metastasis, Biliary Cancer, and Splenic Cancer.
• Discusses imaging modalities for diagnosis, treatment assessment, and prognosis.
• Includes descriptions of radial magnetic resonance imaging, helical computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, FDG-PET, contrast-enhanced sonography, multidetector-row computed tomography, and single photon emission computed tomography.
• Presents imaging methods for localized fibrous tumors of the liver, abdominal neoplasms, cholangiocarcinoma, gall bladder carcinoma, hepatic cellular carcinoma, extrahepatic disease, intrahepatic disease, focal liver lesions, biliary cystic tumors, extra hepatic bile duct carcinoma, and splenic metastases.
• Highlights methods for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with thalidomide and transarterial treatment of hepatic malignancies.
• Discusses postoperative interferon alpha treatment of patients with HCC.
• Details the methods of immunohistochemistry, tissue microarray, and proteomic analysis for diagnosis and prognosis.

The technological advances presented in this volume are expected to expedite new discoveries and their translation to clinical practice. The field of oncology will benefit the most from these advanced methods, as a combination of therapies and personalized medicine will improve early detection of liver cancer and other cancer types.

Professor Hayat has summarized the problems associated with the complexities of research publications and has been successful in editing a must-read volume for oncologists, cancer researchers, medical teachers and students of cancer biology.

Methods of Cancer Diagnosis, Therapy, and Prognosis: Liver Cancer

I’ve recently found out that a close relative has lung cancer – and found out today that it has spread to her spine and liver. It’s small cell lung cancer, and inoperable, so she’s having radiotherapy and chemotherapy. She was really positive when I saw her today, but i’m not sure whether that was just an act – anyone know what the chances are of her being cured/what the prognosis might be?

My grandfather just found out he has liver cancer…They don’t know the prognosis, but I’m really sad about this I cant stop crying and I can’t eat…My job took alot of my time for the past 2 years and I hardly spent any time with him at all, I feel terrible…I want to call him, and stop down, but I feel like he is upset I don’t see/call them much. I feel so awkward, like, I just show up out of the blue and be like, “oh, how are you?” what am I suppossed to do? How to I overcome this? I want to spend time with him but I don’t have the energy, it sounds so selfish and I HATE myself right now…I just want him to know I love him, and that I’m sorry for being such a disappointment…I’m sorry but I’m really upset and I have no one else to talk to cuz I’m a lowlife loser friggin pillhead (just to deal with the pain I’ve felt for many years prior to this)…again sorry

Just diagnosed. Also affecting lymph nodes. He will be starting aggressive chemotherapy this week, 6-8 hr treatments once a week for 24 weeks plus daily radiation treatments. What is his prognosis?

Info needed asap. Patient, 73, male, small cell cancer in lung & liver/colan areas. Chemo begins this Tues. We’ve been married for 4 weeks and in order to control my emotions, I need to be prepared so I can provide everything possible on my behalf. Everything I have received thus far has been references to references and I don’t have time for the run-around. If you can’t help, please do not give me more references. I have not yet discussed this with his hemotologist because…guess I’m afraid to know or acknowledge prognosis in front of my husband. I need to make him positive, happy and worry-free, every second.

they are pretty sure it started in the colon then spread to his liver,doctors prognosis was to just let him die comfortble…i didnt like that answer..

My friend has been through chemo already, had portion of colon removed, and had spot on liver and lungs. All of this was taken care of and now she has a new tumor on her adrenal gland
