Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is well known as a typical angiogenic tumor, especially in the moderately to poorly differentiated type. Such clinicopathological characteristics are not only useful for imaging diagnosis but are also applicable to the treatment of HCC. In addition, recent molecular studies have revealed that angiogenesis is closely related to hepatocarcinogenesis. In this review, the molecular mechanism of HCC angiogenesis and the antiangiogenic prevention of HCC are reviewed to introduce the latest trends in antiangiogenic treatment of cancers, including HCC.Entities:
