Overview

Liver cancer is a malignancy arising in the tissues of the liver, encompassing primary tumors and metastatic disease, with hepatocellular carcinoma the most common primary form and cholangiocarcinoma of the intrahepatic bile ducts and rarer entities such as angiosarcoma also recognized. Hepatocellular carcinoma typically develops on a background of chronic liver injury and cirrhosis caused by viral hepatitis, alcohol, and metabolic disease, with hepatitis C infection an important driver; angiogenesis and the tumor microenvironment contribute to its progression. Diagnosis and prognosis rely on imaging, histopathology, and biomarkers, and management is shaped by tumor stage, underlying liver function, and comorbidity. Research addresses the epidemiology and burden of liver disease and cancer, angiogenic and molecular markers, organ-specific biomarker assessment, and the broader context of cancer comorbidity. The peer-reviewed studies indexed under this topic examine the prognosis of hepatic cancer, retrospective hospital-based study of liver disease, molecular and cellular biology relevant to tumor regulation, the role of angiogenic markers such as Tie2 and angiopoietin in hepatocellular carcinoma complicating hepatitis C infection, cell-based vital-organ biomarker assessment, and factors associated with mortality in cancer with comorbid disease. Together they reflect investigation of liver cancer spanning its epidemiology, molecular and angiogenic biology, biomarkers, and clinical context, integrating pathological, laboratory, and clinical perspectives on hepatic malignancy.
