My training started in 1971, when I joined the First Department of
Medicine of Chiba University, as Dr. Kunio Okuda became chair ofthe
department. To acquire training ingeneralpathology, Iapplied for
the Intern MatchingProgram and started as aninternin the
DepartmentofPathologyofYale University, in 1973.While Iwas
achiefresident, Ispent 10months in Dr.
GeraldKlatskin'sofficestudyingthe com plete set of his famous liver
biopsy samples (the Klatskin Collection). In 1976, I
movedtoJohnWesleyHospital, where therewasagroup from the USC
(University ofSouthern California) Liver Unit, to obtain further
pathology training under the guidanceofDr. Robert L. Peters. Those
experiences have given me ample opportu nity to see the differences
between the United States and Japan. Ofcourse, 28 years ago in
downtown Los Angeles there were enormous num bers ofpatients
suffering from typical alcoholic liver diseases. Now in Japan, in
contrast, we have an enormous number ofpatients suffering from
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), due in particular to hepatitis C
viral infection. Last year, in the DepartmentofGastroenterology at
the University ofTokyo, we had approximately 500 admissions due to
HCC. Thus, we have an urgent need to prevent the develop ment ofHCC
and to provide better treatment for such patients through a basic
un derstanding ofvirology, clinical features, and treatment
modalities. The first single-topic conference on "TherapyofViral
Hepatitis and Prevention ofHepatocellular Carcinoma" was organized
by the Japan Society ofHepatology (Kiwamu Okita, Director General)
and was held November 14-15,2002, near Mt. Fuji. Thisbook, which is
asummaryofthe meeting, helps toupdate relevantinforma tion on this
vital topic. June 28, 2003 Masao Ornata, M.D."
