A bstract : The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma is increasing in many countries. estimated number new cases annually over 500,000, and the yearly comprises between 2.5 7% patients with liver cirrhosis. varies different geographic areas, being higher developing areas; males are predominantly affected, a 2:3 male/female ratio. heterogeneous distribution reflects epidemiologic impact main etiologic factors environmental risk, which hepatitis B (HBV) C (HCV) viruses. percentage...
Sorafenib, a multikinase inhibitor, recently received FDA approval for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, as clinical application sorafenib evolves, there is increasing interest in defining mechanisms underlying its anti-tumor activity. Considering that this specific inhibitor could target unexpected molecules depending on biologic context, precise understanding mechanism action be critical to maximize efficacy, while minimizing adverse effects. Two human HCC...
Abstract Sorafenib, an oral multikinase inhibitor, is the only approved agent for treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, its benefits are modest, and as mechanisms action remain elusive, a better understanding anticancer effects needed. Based on our previous study results, we investigated here implication nuclear protein 1 (NUPR1) in HCC role sorafenib treatment. NUPR1 stress-inducible that overexpressed various malignancies, but not yet fully understood. We found...
Liver cirrhosis (LC), the end stage of many forms chronic hepatitis different etiologies is a diffuse process characterized by fibrosis and conversion normal liver architecture into structurally abnormal nodules surrounded annular fibrosis.This progressive clinical condition, leads to cell failure portal hypertension, which can favour onset hepatocellular carcinoma.Defining phase natural history crucial for therapeutic choice prognosis.Liver biopsy currently considered best available...
