Abstract

In this opinion article we postulate that conditions that result in prolonged inflammation of the organs in the splanchnic system, specifically the Metabolic Syndrome and Splanchnic Inflammatory Syndrome, not only predispose sufferers to Hepatocellular Carcinoma, but also to malignancies of other organs in the splanchnic system. Discussion of individual splanchnic organs and malignant disease are described.
