BACKGROUND Neoangiogenesis is one of the key pathogenetic mechanisms in
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Modulation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) by
angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-Is) and angiotensin receptor blockers
(ARBs) seems to be a possible adjuvant therapy for HCC, due to the anti-angiogenic and
anti-fibrogenic activity of these drugs. AIM
