TLDR
To overcome the complexity of genomic aberrations in HCC, combination therapies will be critical and a molecular classification of HCC based on genome‐wide investigations and identification of patient subclasses according to drug responsiveness will lead to a more personalized medicine.

AASLD PRACTICE GUIDELINE Management of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: An Update

TL;DR: Since the publication of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) practice guidelines on the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in 2005, new information has emerged that requires that the guidelines be updated.

EASL-EORTC Clinical Practice Guidelines: Management of hepatocellular carcinoma European Association for the Study of the Liver ⇑ , European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer

TL;DR: The purpose of this document is to assist physicians, patients, health-care providers, and health-policy makers from Europe and worldwide in the decision-making process according to evidencebased data.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma Incidence, Mortality, and Survival Trends in the United States From 1975 to 2005

TL;DR: Screening of at-risk groups and treatment of localized-stage tumors may contribute to increasing HCC survival rates in the United States, particularly among middle-aged black, Hispanic, and white men.

Integrative transcriptome analysis reveals common molecular subclasses of human hepatocellular carcinoma.

TL;DR: Three robust HCC subclasses are observed, each correlated with clinical parameters such as tumor size, extent of cellular differentiation, and serum alpha-fetoprotein levels, and it is indicated that S1 reflected aberrant activation of the WNT signaling pathway, S2 was characterized by proliferation as well as MYC and AKT activation, and S3 was associated with hepatocyte differentiation.

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.

Use of Chemotherapy plus a Monoclonal Antibody against HER2 for Metastatic Breast Cancer That Overexpresses HER2

TL;DR: The addition of trastuzumab to chemotherapy was associated with a longer time to disease progression, a higher rate of objective response, a longer duration of response, and a lower rate of death at 1 year.
