Abstract

Since the beginning of this century, primary liver cancers have been extensively investigated in Japan. The terms hepatoma and cholangioma were proposed by Yamagiwa [1], and an experimental induction of hepatic cancer utilizing azocompounds was pioneered by Sasaki and Yoshida [2]. A number of other noteworthy works on primary liver cancers have been carried out over the years by Japanese researchers.
