Genome-wide association study identifies a susceptibility locus for HCV-induced hepatocellular carcinoma

TLDR
A previously unidentified locus in the 5′ flanking region of MICA on 6p21.33 was found to be strongly associated with HCV-induced HCC and the risk allele of rs2596542 was associated with lower soluble MICA protein levels in individuals withHCV- induced HCC.
Abstract
Koichi Matsuda and colleagues report a genome-wide association study for hepatitis C virus–induced hepatocellular carcinoma. They identify a susceptibility locus at MICA in individuals of Japanese ancestry.

Hepatocellular carcinoma: clinical frontiers and perspectives

TL;DR: While several trials have failed to improve the benefits of established therapies, studies assessing the sequential or combined application of those already known to be beneficial are needed to help explain the failure of prior studies.

Genetic Landscape and Biomarkers of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

TL;DR: Data from genomic profiling enabled a proposal of HCC in 2 major molecular clusters (proliferation and non Proliferation), with differential enrichment in prognostic signatures, pathway activation and tumor phenotype, which helps define some of the core deregulated pathways in HCC.

Epidemiology of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

TL;DR: Primary prevention efforts aimed at decreasing the prevalence of obesity and diabetes and controlling mycotoxin growth, are just as urgently required for HCC.

Risk factors and prevention of hepatocellular carcinoma in the era of precision medicine

TL;DR: Individual HCC risk prediction is expected to overcome the challenge by enabling personalised chemoprevention, targeting high-risk patients for precision HCC prevention and substantially improving the dismal prognosis of HCC.

Global cancer statistics

TL;DR: A substantial proportion of the worldwide burden of cancer could be prevented through the application of existing cancer control knowledge and by implementing programs for tobacco control, vaccination, and early detection and treatment, as well as public health campaigns promoting physical activity and a healthier dietary intake.

PLINK: A Tool Set for Whole-Genome Association and Population-Based Linkage Analyses

TL;DR: This work introduces PLINK, an open-source C/C++ WGAS tool set, and describes the five main domains of function: data management, summary statistics, population stratification, association analysis, and identity-by-descent estimation, which focuses on the estimation and use of identity- by-state and identity/descent information in the context of population-based whole-genome studies.

Global cancer statistics, 2002.

TL;DR: There are striking variations in the risk of different cancers by geographic area, most of the international variation is due to exposure to known or suspected risk factors related to lifestyle or environment, and provides a clear challenge to prevention.
