The 58th Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases
The Liver Meeting is the premier meeting in the science and practice of hepatology, including the latest findings on new drugs, novel treatments, and the results from pilot and multicenter studies.

There are now numerous treatments for both hepatitis B and C, whereas liver cancer is one of the few cancers growing in incidence.
