"If you get Liver Cancer, you are going to die."

When a former co-worker got liver cancer, I bought this book for several reasons, one of which was a search for the best treatments - or, more simply put, for hope. If that is what you are looking for, and nothing else, then skip this book. If, on the other hand, you want essential background to the disease, and can use this background to help negotiate the complex considerations of new chemotherapeutic agents, then this book is recommended.

This field is changing rapidly. Not rapidly enough as it turns out, but it seems only a matter of time before a cluster of genetic insights converge and treating such cancers becomes a practical reality. To the researchers doing such work, Godspeed.
