OVERVIEW

In the last years we have witnessed a strong scientific progress that has improved the diagnosis and therapy of many gastroenterological and liver diseases. The major examples are the discovery of Helicobacter pylori infection, which causes ulcer and its eradication leads to complete cure by avoiding complications, particularly bleeding, and surgical operations and modern anti-viral therapies against virus C with marked reduction of cirrhosis, hepatocarcinoma and liver transplantation-
