OUR HISTORY
The BCLC group was created in 1986 by Jordi Bruix (Hepatologist) and Concepció Bru (Radiologist devoted to ultrasound ). The initial studies focused on clinical issues related to the epidemiology, diagnosis and natural history of liver cancer. The need to incorporate expertise and knowledge in different fields primed the incorporation of physicians working in pathology (Manel Solé), computed tomography and magnetic resonance (Carmen Ayuso), Hepatic Surgery (Josep Fuster) and Vascular Radiology and Intervention (Xavier Montanyà and Maribel Real).

Fellows in training were attracted almost from the beginning, the first one being Xavier Calvet (Hepatologist). He was followed by several others that, in some instances, have become Faculty at the Hospital Clínic and stable members of the BCLC itself.
The current members of the BCLC and the fellows that have been part of the evolution are detailed in a specific section.
