Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Implications for Asia-Pacific Oncology Nurses

Asia-Pacific Journal of Oncology Nursing
Deborah A Boyle

Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prominent malignancy in the Asia-Pacific region. Despite considerable knowledge about it's scope and nature this malignancy remains incurable. This manuscript reviews the epidemiology of this cancer, its pathogenesis, risk factors, potential prevention, surveillance, treatment, and the oncology nurses' role relative to this malignancy. A literature search from the past decade was performed using the PubMed and CINAHL databases using the search terms "hepatocellular carcinoma," "Asia," and "nursing issues". Themes such as etiology, prevention, treatment, and prognosis were included in this synthesis which has particular relevance to oncology nurses within the Asia-Pacific region.
