چکیده انگلیسی
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer in the world. The number of new cases is estimated to be 564,000 per year. About 80% of all cases are found in Asia. The goal of HCC management is “cancer control” - a reduction in its incidence and mortality as well as an improvement in the quality of life of patients with HCC and their family. Overall, 80% of HCC can be attributed to chronic hepatitis B and C infection. Prevention of infection with hepatitis B and C virus is the key strategy to reduce the incidence of HCC in Asia. Liver resection and liver transplantation remain the options that give the best chance of a cure. In the past two decades, operative mortality and surgical outcome of liver resection and liver transplantation for HCC have improved. Progress also has been made in multi-modality therapy which can increase the chance of survival and improve the quality of life for patients with advanced HCC. Many challenges are still present in Asia, such as the high prevalence of chronic hepatitis, the low resection rate of HCC, the high postoperative recurrence and the severe shortage of cadaveric organ donor. This article aims to discuss the development and challenges in the prevention and management of HCC in Asia
