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.
