Host: Joel Wedd MD, MPH

Not only is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) the most common primary liver cancer in adults, but it’s also the fastest-growing cause of cancer-related deaths in the US. That’s why Dr. Joel Wedd, Associate Professor of Medicine at the Virginia Commonwealth University and Medical Director of Liver Transplant at the Hume-Lee Transplant Center, is here to discuss the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma, risk factors, the importance of early-stage detection, and more.
