New vaccination strategies in liver cancer

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of death from cancer globally. The age-standardized incidence rate (ASR) of HCC in men in Europe, adjusted to the European Standard Population, is about 8 per 100,000 (http://globocan.iarc.fr/). Hepatitis B and C virus (HBV and HCV) chronic infection is the main risk factor for the development of HCC [1,2].
