Selected summary for the 2015 Asia-Pacific Primary Liver Cancer Expert Meeting (APPLE).
Liver cancer is now ranked second in terms of cancer-related mortality worldwide; with limited treatment options for patients at advanced stages it remains a growing health problem. All Phase III clinical trials testing molecular therapies after sorafenib have so far failed, and there is still not a validated oncogene addiction loop. Despite the present huge challenges, advancements in the recent years have been remarkable. The Asia-Pacific Primary Liver Cancer Expert Meeting (APPLE) was designed to promote scientific exchanges of international and regional experts in the study and management of liver cancer. Over the years it has consolidated as a major resource to provide a thorough update to clinicians and researchers located in the Asia-Pacific region in different aspects of liver cancer. Attendance at these meetings is exceptional, with an average of 1000 attendees at each conference. As predicted, the 2015 edition provided an outstanding overview of the latest developments in the clinical management and molecular pathogenesis of the disease.
期刊介绍：
Primary liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the world, and the third most common cause of death from malignant disease. Traditionally more common in developing countries, hepatocellular carcinoma is becoming increasingly prevalent in the Western world, primarily due to an increase in hepatitis C virus infection. Emerging risk factors, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and obesity are also of concern for the future. In addition, metastatic tumors of the liver are more common than primary disease. Some studies report hepatic metastases in as many as 40 to 50% of adult patients with extrahepatic primary tumors. Hepatic Oncology publishes original research studies and reviews addressing preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to all types of cancer of the liver, in both the adult and pediatric populations. The journal also highlights significant advances in basic and translational research, and places them in context for future therapy. Hepatic Oncology provides a forum to report and debate all aspects of cancer of the liver and bile ducts. The journal publishes original research studies, full reviews and commentaries, with all articles subject to independent review by a minimum of three independent experts. Unsolicited article proposals are welcomed and authors are required to comply fully with the journal''s Disclosure & Conflict of Interest Policy as well as major publishing guidelines, including ICMJE and GPP3.
