Abstract:
With the development of early diagnostic and surgical techniques, the postoperative outcome of patients with liver cancer is gradually improved, but long-term outcome remains unsatisfactory. The therapeutic methods for recurrent tumors include multidisciplinary therapeutic methods such as reoperation, local treatment, and systematic treatment. Multidisciplinary therapies can improve the overall response of recurrent liver cancer, and it can combine various therapies from different disciplines according to the patient's condition and take advantages of each therapy in order to achieve the best therapeutic effect.

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. 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...
