Hepatobiliary cancers are among the most prevalent cancers worldwide. With an increasing trend of the incidence of these diseases, there has been a persistent focus in developing new cutting-edge knowledge for the molecular pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment. In order to understand the advances of research and achieve translational applications in clinical use and precision medicine, a good grasp of the recent advances of research, both basic and clinical, in these cancers is a must.
