"Opportunities for the treatment of liver disorders are advancing at a tremendous pace with gene therapy, hepatocyte transplantation, remodelling of diseased livers, pharmacodynamic therapy for portal hypertension and an ever-extending range of effective anti-hepatitis viral agents.

 

"The success of transplantation and the gift of life given to end-stage liver disease patients never cease to amaze me.

 

"On the surgical side, the scope for major surgical resections along with adjuvant chemotherapy and new techniques of enhancing hepatic regeneration is another rapidly advancing area.

 

"At The London Clinic Liver Centre, we offer the highest technological service matched by an expert and caring staff, the physical setting encouraging the patient's recovery and including support for their families and carers.

 

 

"Integral to the introduction of new research findings are active links with academic centres both in this country and abroad, including my own Institute at University College London.

 

"Liver care is an increasingly global health issue in countries of the Middle and Far East as well as in the West."
