Sirolimus Use in Liver Transplant Recipients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Randomized, Multicenter, Open-Label Phase 3 Trial

Edward K. Geissler, +68 more
- 01 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: This trial provides the first high-level evidence base for selecting immunosuppression in LTx recipients with HCC and reveals that low-risk, rather than high- risk, patients benefited most from sirolimus; furthermore, younger recipients (age ⩽60) also benefited, as well siro Limus monotherapy patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced caspase-8 recruitment to and activation at the DISC is critical for sensitisation of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis by chemotherapeutic drugs

TL;DR: A potential mechanism for TRAIL sensitisation by 5-FU is the increased effectiveness of caspase-8 recruitment to and activation at the DISC facilitated by the downregulation of cFLIP and the consequent shift in the ratio of casing-8 to c FLIP at theDISC.
Journal ArticleDOI

The promise of TRAIL—potential and risks of a novel anticancer therapy

TL;DR: Most preclinical studies show a high efficiency of a combinatorial TRAIL-based therapy in animal models and in primary human ex vivo tumor cells with a low toxicity in normal cells, compared to the unwanted effects of TRAIL treatment on normal tissue.
