TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper evaluated the application of percutaneous laser ablation as a treatment for portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) due to advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

TL;DR: Postoperative adjuvant TACE may be effective to improve OS and DFS in patients with multinodular HCC, or HCC with MVI or PVTT, but not among patients with large HCC (⩾5 cm).

TL;DR: ALBI and APRI demonstrated more accurate ability to predict PHLF than Child-Pugh and MELD, and two online calculators were proposed as useful preoperative and postoperative tools for individually predicting the occurrence of PHLf among patients with HCC.

TL;DR: It is reported that the immunogenicity of hepa 1–6 hepatoma and SMCC-1 colon carcinoma cells, which are poorly immunogenic and unresponsive to antisense IGF-1 gene transfer, can be induced by cotransfection with genes encoding antisense FIA-1 and mouse B7.1 molecules.

TL;DR: AFU is a suboptimal biomarker for early detection of HCC and the AUC of AFU alone or the combination with AFP were lower than that of AFP alone.
