Abstract BACKGROUND: Antiangiogenic therapy has become the most important treatment modality for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, authors investigated levels of alpha‐fetoprotein (AFP) as a potential biomarker efficacy antiangiogenic therapy. METHODS: Patients HCC who had been enrolled in 3 prospective phase 2 clinical trials that evaluated either sorafenib, bevacizumab, or thalidomide combination potentially antiangiogenic, metronomic, oral...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality in Taiwan. The Taiwan Liver Cancer Association and the Gastroenterological Society had established management consensus guideline 2016. current recommendations focus on updating critical issues regarding HCC, including surveillance, diagnosis, systemic treatment. For updated suggests role dynamic computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) selected patients. this update...

The TGF-β signaling pathway is crucial in the progression and metastasis of malignancies. We investigated whether serum TGF-β1 level was related to outcomes patients treated with sorafenib for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).We selected who had received sorafenib-containing regimens as first-line therapy HCC between 2007 2012. Serum levels were measured correlated treatment outcomes. expression sensitivity examined cell lines.Ninety-one included; 62 (68%) hepatitis B virus surface...

Abstract Background Post‐treatment decline in serum alpha‐foetoprotein (AFP) levels has been shown to predict the treatment efficacy of antiangiogenic therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We explored whether a AFP was also associated with outcomes immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) patients HCC. Methods reviewed all who received ICI response evaluated pretreatment level >20 ng/mL. defined early as >20% within first 4 weeks initiation relative levels. then studied...

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) exhibit significant clinical activity in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study explored whether tumor response to ICIs HCC varies among different organs.We reviewed the data of who had received ICIs. Patients measurable diseases were enrolled. Organ-specific criteria, adapted from RECIST 1.1 and immune-related RECIST, used evaluate objective tumors located liver, lung, lymph node, other intra-abdominal sites.Of 75 enrolled HCC,...

Sorafenib has become the standard therapy for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Unfortunately, most eventually develop acquired resistance. Therefore, it is important to identify potential biomarkers that could predict efficacy of sorafenib. To target proteins associated development sorafenib resistance, we applied stable isotope labelling amino acids in cell culture (SILAC)-based quantitative proteomic approach analyze differences protein expression levels between...

Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in the tumor microenvironment (TME) has been reported to be related prognosis patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatectomy. The impact of sorafenib on PD-L1 TME advanced HCC is unclear.Patients who received for disease at National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan, and had paired tissues obtained before treatment were included study group. not treated primary recurrent or metastatic identified as reference membrane...

Previous studies have shown left-sided colorectal cancer (LCRC) and right-sided (RCRC) exhibit different molecular clinicopathological features. We explored the association between primary tumor site cetuximab efficacy in KRAS wild-type (CRC). This study enrolled a cohort of patients, who had received treatment after two or more lines chemotherapy for (exon 2 nonmutant) metastatic CRC, from databases Taiwan Cancer Registry (2004–2010) National Health Insurance (2004–2011). Survival data were...

600 Background: Immunotherapy combinations such as atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (Atezo-Bev) or STRIDE have been established standard therapies for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). After dual immunotherapy treatment, durable responders and long-term survivors had reported. However, the longevity of outcomes following Atezo-Bev treatment remains to be evaluated. Methods: We analyzed medical records four centers in Taiwan Child-Pugh class A liver reserve who received...

568 Background: Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a common etiology of HCC, especially in East Asia. Clinical trials using immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) usually exclude patients with chronic active (serum HBV viral load > 2000 IU/mL) or require the to be below certain level anti-HBV medications. This study examines safety and efficacy concurrently administering STRIDE regimen (durvalumab single dose tremelimumab) durvalumab alone medications this patient population....

Immunotherapy targeting the programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) pathway is a standard treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The Wnt signaling pathway, often upregulated in HCC, contributes to an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. This study investigated impact of inhibition on PD-L1 expression HCC and evaluated potential therapeutic benefit combining with blockade. effects inhibitors XAV939 IWR-1 were examined human cell lines HuH7 Hep3B. Beta-catenin overexpression...
