Preneoplastic lesions in the liver: Molecular insights and relevance for clinical practice

Desjonqueres E, Campani C, Marra F, Zucman-Rossi J, Nault JC.Liver Int. 2022 Jan 4. doi: 10.1111/liv.15152.  Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) are the most frequent primary liver cancers, accounting for approximately 80% and 15%, respectively. HCC carcinogenesis occurs mostly in cirrhosis and is a complex multi-step process, from precancerous lesions (low-grade and high-grade dysplastic …
