What Are the Future Directions in Toxicological Research on HCC?
Advancements in toxicological research aim to improve HCC prevention, diagnosis, and treatment:
Biomarkers: Identifying biomarkers for early detection and monitoring of exposure to carcinogens is a key research area. Mechanistic Studies: Understanding the molecular mechanisms of toxin-induced carcinogenesis aids in developing targeted therapies. Personalized Medicine: Integrating genetic and environmental data to tailor prevention and treatment strategies to individual risk profiles. Regulatory Policies: Strengthening regulations to limit exposure to known liver carcinogens will be crucial in reducing HCC incidence.
