Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Hepatocarcinogenesis is a complex process that remains still partly understood. That might be explained by the multiplicity of etiologic factors, the genetic/epigenetic heterogeneity of tumors bulks and the ignorance of the liver cell types that give rise to tumorigenic cells that have stem cell-like properties. The DNA stress induced by hepatocyte turnover, inflammation and maybe early oncogen...
متن کاملTargeted Therapies in the Treatment of Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common liver cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death. It has been a major worldwide health problem with more new cases being diagnosed each year. The current available therapies for patients with advanced HCC are extremely limited. Therefore, it is of great clinical interests to develop more effective therapies for systemic treatment of adva...
متن کاملBiomarkers for novel targeted therapies of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Increasing insights into molecular alterations of signalling pathways have led to the development of specific targeted therapies for cancer. Due to the high specificity of monoclonal antibodies or small molecule inhibitors, identification of patients who will benefit from these therapeutics is crucial for treatment success. Furthermore, as classical endpoints of clinical trials are not fully ap...
متن کاملGastrointestinal Stromal Tumors: Molecular Mechanisms and Targeted Therapies
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract and are diverse not only in their clinical behavior but also in their histologic appearance. GISTs are insensitive to conventional sarcoma chemotherapy and radiation. However GISTs are sensitive to small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors as 85-90% of GISTs have KIT or platelet-deriv...
متن کاملMolecular markers and targeted therapies for adrenocortical carcinoma.
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a lethal disease with poor prognosis and lack of effective therapeutic options. Systemic treatment is often employed to treat patients with advanced ACC, but outcomes are disappointing. During the last decade, some of the causative genetic mutations in sporadic ACCs have been identified. Molecular analysis has had a significant impact on the understanding of th...
