Abstract:
Hepatocellular carcinoma ( HCC) is a prevalent primary liver cancer that is driven by cumulative chan-ges in the hepatocyte genome which were influenced by the liver microenvironment .The tumor microenvironment is a dynamic system, including cancer cells, stroma, the extracellular matrix.tissue hypoxia, diet, gastrointestinal tract ( GIT) microflora and circulating microvesicles , The liver microenvironment plays a pivotal role in HCC tu-merigenesis , progression and therapeutic efficienry .The study of the HCC microenvironment will provide new in-sights into the mechanism of tumourigenesis and potential novel targets in the treatment of HCC .
