Progress on epigenetic research of hepatocellular carcinoma / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

The incidence and mortality of hepatocellular carcinoma have increased in recent decades. Although the major etiological factors have been identified, the exact molecular biology mechanism remains unclear. Re- cently, more and more evidences prove that epigenetics mechanism plays an important role in hepatoceUular carcino-ma. Here we try to make a progress on the abnormal epigenetics changes, epigenetics detection and treatments of hepatocellualr carcinoma.
