Abstract
Support: No funding was received for the publication of this article. Liver cancer has contributed to an annual 30,200 deaths in the US so far in 2018. An overwhelming majority is due to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the setting of advanced liver disease. While chronic hepatitis C and alcoholic liver disease traditionally have been the most common etiologies of cirrhosis in the US, the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is on the rise. Chronic hepatitis B is also important among patients who have emigrated from high-risk areas, such as east and southeast Asia, Africa, and South America.
期刊介绍:
The Oral History Review, published by the Oral History Association, is the U.S. journal of record for the theory and practice of oral history and related fields. The journal’s primary mission is to explore the nature and significance of oral history and advance understanding of the field among scholars, educators, practitioners, and the general public. The Review publishes narrative and analytical articles and reviews, in print and multimedia formats, that present and use oral history in unique and significant ways and that contribute to the understanding of the nature of oral history and memory. It seeks previously unpublished works that demonstrate high-quality research and that offer new insight into oral history practice, methodology, theory, and pedagogy. Work published in the journal arises from many fields and disciplines, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of oral history. While based in the U.S., the Review reflects the international scope of the field and encourages work from international authors and about international topics.
