Intratumoral Balance of Regulatory and Cytotoxic T Cells Is Associated With Prognosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Resection

TL;DR: Tregs are associated with HCC invasiveness, and intratumoral balance of regulatory and cytotoxic T cells is a promising independent predictor for recurrence and survival in HCC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overexpression of PD-L1 significantly associates with tumor aggressiveness and postoperative recurrence in human hepatocellular carcinoma.

TL;DR: The data suggest for the first time that PD-L1 status may be a new predictor of recurrence for HCC patients and provide the rationale for developing a novel therapy of targeting the PD- L1/PD-1 pathway against this fatal malignancy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of autophagy defect with a malignant phenotype and poor prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.

TL;DR: Exposure of autophagic genes and their corresponding autophile activities were suppressed in HCC, suggesting that the autophagy defects synergized with altered apoptotic activity might facilitate tumor malignant differentiation, which results in a more aggressive cancer cell phenotype and poor prognosis of HCC.
Journal ArticleDOI

High expression levels of putative hepatic stem/progenitor cell biomarkers related to tumour angiogenesis and poor prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.

TL;DR: The simplified model based on the HSC/HPC and tumour angiogenesis profile can be used to classify patients with HCC with a high risk of tumour recurrence after surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circulating tumor cells: advances in detection methods, biological issues, and clinical relevance

TL;DR: The efficacy of circulating tumor cell (CTC) detection among patients with solid malignancy has been investigated, which shows great potential to become a tool for real-time parameter of prognosis and serve as an early marker to assess the therapeutic response in overt cancers.
