Prevention is an increasingly important area of modern medicine. One of the foremost goals in the field of hepatology is prevention of hepatocellular carcinoma since this tumor has a poor prognosis and current therapeutic options are limited. Most hepatocellular carcinomas arise from chronic liver disease and liver cirrhosis which is considered a major risk factor for tumor development. The most common etiologic factors causing liver cirrhosis include chronic viral hepatitis, alcohol consumption, toxins and a few metabolic disorders. This review discusses current therapeutic concepts for prevention and treatment of chronic liver disease and cirrhosis.
预防是现代医学中一个日益重要的领域。肝病学领域的首要目标之一是预防肝细胞癌，因为这种肿瘤预后较差且目前的治疗选择有限。大多数肝细胞癌源于慢性肝病和肝硬化，而肝硬化被认为是肿瘤发展的主要危险因素。导致肝硬化的最常见病因包括慢性病毒性肝炎、饮酒、毒素和一些代谢紊乱。本文综述了慢性肝病和肝硬化预防与治疗的当前治疗理念。
