The Role of Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts and Fibrosis in Liver Cancer

TL;DR: The functional contributions of myofibroblasts, CAFs, and fibrosis to the development of HCC and CCA in the hepatic PME and TME are discussed, focusing on my ofibroblast- and extracellular matrix-associated growth factors, fibrosis-associated immunosuppressive pathways, as well as mechanosensitive signaling cascades that are activated by increased tissue stiffness.

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.

Recent developments in myofibroblast biology: paradigms for connective tissue remodeling.

TL;DR: The origin and the specific features of the myofibroblast in diverse fibrotic lesions, such as systemic sclerosis; kidney, liver, and lung fibrosis; and the stromal reaction to certain epithelial tumors are reviewed.

Stromal myofibroblasts are drivers of invasive cancer growth.

TL;DR: Fibrosis is a major side effect of radiotherapy, and the question how the main methods of cancer management, including chemotherapy, hormonotherapy and surgery affect myofibroblasts and by inference the surrogate endpoints invasion and metastasis is addressed.

Transforming growth factor-beta and fibrosis.

TL;DR: The role of Smad proteins in the transcriptional regulation of type I collagen gene expression and in the development of fibrosis, demonstrated both in vitro and in animal models with a targeted deletion of Smads3, is of critical importance because it may lead to novel therapeutic strategies against these diseases.

Genomic and Genetic Characterization of Cholangiocarcinoma Identifies Therapeutic Targets for Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors

TL;DR: Insight into the pathogenesis of cholangiocarcinoma is provided and previously unrecognized subclasses of patients, based on KRAS mutations and increased levels of EGFR and HER2 signaling, who might benefit from dual-target tyrosine kinase inhibitors are identified.
