Molecular Magnetic Resonance of Hepatic Fibrogenesis
A. Specific Aims Identification of high-risk populations suitable for screening and chemoprevention of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been proposed as an effective and efficient strategy to impact HCC-related mortality. Screening and earlier detection of HCC has had some impact on HCC mortality. However, the absence of tools to accurately predict which patients will progress to HCC remains a significant barrier to development of effective chemoprevention agents. Progress in prediction of who will progress to HCC and whether chemoprevention is likely to be effective would have a major clinical impact. Liver fibrosis is a common pathway shared by all progressive chronic liver diseases…
