Future therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma.
A large proportion of patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lack effective therapy. Due to chemoresistance, hope has focused on other approaches including targeted therapies, immune stimulants, and the emerging area of gene therapy. Increasing efforts in basic and clinical development of these approaches will hopefully result in more efficient therapies against HCC.
