Publisher's Synopsis
The book "Triterpenoid Treatment for Hepatocellular Carcinoma" explores the potential of triterpenoids as a treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a type of liver cancer. HCC is a major cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and current treatment options are limited. However, triterpenoids, natural compounds found in plants and herbal medicines, have been shown to have promising anticancer properties.
The book covers a wide range of topics related to triterpenoid treatment for HCC, including the molecular mechanisms of action, preclinical studies, and clinical trials. It also delves into the use of plant extracts and traditional medicine in the development of triterpenoid-based therapies.
The authors examine the potential of triterpenoids as a standalone therapy, as well as in combination with other treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems. They discuss the challenges of drug resistance and toxicity, and explore the use of biomarkers to monitor liver function and patient response.
The book also covers emerging areas of research in triterpenoid treatment for HCC, including personalized medicine, gene expression, epigenetics, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. The use of animal models in drug development is also explored.
Overall, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on triterpenoid treatment for HCC. It is a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and students interested in medical research and the development of new therapies for cancer treatment, with a focus on improving patient survival and quality of life.
