Cytotoxicity, apoptosis analysis and post-chemotherapy liver histology as well as studies into hepatocyte function were undertaken. This included the assessment of hospital and long-term outcome post hepatectomy. The thesis was submitted to Sheffield University and I have been awarded the degree of Doctor of Medicine
