Abstract:
Hepatocellular carcinoma remains one of the commonest malignant tumours in the world. It usually arises on a background of hepatic cirrhosis which limits the possibility of resection or transplantation.

Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
