Telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter mutation is an early somatic genetic alteration in the transformation of premalignant nodules in hepatocellular carcinoma on cirrhosis.

TL;DR: Frequency of TERT promoter mutations rapidly increases during the different steps of the transformation of premalignant lesions into HCC on cirrhosis, and somatic TERT promoters mutation is a new biomarker predictive of transformation of Premalignant patients into H CC.

YAP activation is an early event and a potential therapeutic target in liver cancer development

TL;DR: It is suggested that YAP overexpression is an early event in rat and human liver tumourigenesis, and it is critical for the clonal expansion of carcinogen-initiated hepatocytes and oval cells, and VP-induced disruption of the YAP-TEAD interaction may provide an important approach for the treatment of Yap-overexpressing cancers.
