Targeted Therapies for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

TLDR
Identification of oncogenes that mediate tumor progression, and trials that monitor their products as biomarkers, might lead to personalized therapy; reagents that interfere with signaling pathways required for HCC progression might be used to treat selected populations, and thereby maximize the efficacy and cost benefit.

Experimental liver fibrosis research: update on animal models, legal issues and translational aspects

TL;DR: This review gives an update on current animal models, techniques and underlying pathomechanisms with the aim of fostering a critical discussion of the limitations and potential of up-to-date animal experimentation.

Identification of driver genes in hepatocellular carcinoma by exome sequencing.

TL;DR: The NFE2L2‐KEAP1 and MLL pathways are recurrently mutated in multiple cohorts of HCC, with significantly affected gene families include the nucleotide‐binding domain and leucine‐rich repeat‐containing family, calcium channel subunits, and histone methyltransferases.

Current and Future Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: An Updated Comprehensive Review.

TL;DR: The current and future medical and surgical management of HCC is provided, including sorafenib, which is the most commonly used systemic therapy; although, it has been shown to only minimally impact patient survival by several months.

Hypoxia‐mediated sorafenib resistance can be overcome by EF24 through Von Hippel‐Lindau tumor suppressor‐dependent HIF‐1α inhibition in hepatocellular carcinoma

TL;DR: This study tested the hypothesis that hypoxia caused by the antiangiogenic effects of sustained sorafenib therapy could induce sorafinib resistance as a cytoprotective adaptive response, thereby limiting sorAFenib efficiency, and found that sustained SorafenIB therapy led to increased intratumor hypoxIA, which was associated with sorafanib sensitivity in HCC subcutaneous mice tumor models.

New Guidelines to Evaluate the Response to Treatment in Solid Tumors

TL;DR: A model by which a combined assessment of all existing lesions, characterized by target lesions and nontarget lesions, is used to extrapolate an overall response to treatment is proposed, which is largely validated by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Group and integrated into the present guidelines.

Cancer Statistics, 2009

TL;DR: The most recent data on cancer incidence, mortality, and survival from the American Cancer Society (ACS) is presented in this paper, where the authors compare the three major cancer sites in men (lung, prostate, and colon and rectum [colorectum]) and in two major cancers sites in women (breast and colorectal) over a 15-year period.
