â  â  hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) is a major worldwide public health concern. despite recent advances, there has been little success in improving the survival of hcc patients. due to advances in diagnostic modalities and the increasing incidence of chronic viral hepatitis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld), both of which are well known risk factors of hcc, the prevalence of hcc is ...

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the third most common malignancy in Kenyan males occurring with a peak incidence at 40 years of age. A worldwide correlation has been noted between the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma and prevalence of hepatitis B virus. Liver biopsies with histological diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), cirrhosis and the normals were reviewed by the authors. They wer...

The objective of the study was to determine the anticancerous efficacy of Ayurvedic preparation made of Semecarpus anacardium (SA) nuts. Five groups of rats were used for the study. Group I served as water control. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was induced in groups II, III and IV animals using N-nitrosodiethylamine as inducing agent followed by phenobarbitone as promoter for 13 weeks. Group-I...

With an expected incidence of more than 1 million cases by 2025, liver cancer remains a problem for world health. over 90% cases, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prevalent kind cancer. In this review, we presented range experimental therapeutics patients with advanced HCC, successes and failures new treatments, areas future development, evaluation dose-limiting toxicity in different ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic utility of Hep par-1 in differentiating hepatocellular carcinoma from metastatic carcinoma taking histopathology as a gold standard. STUDY DESIGN Comparative cross-sectional study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Pathology Department, Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, Lahore, from April 2007 to February 2008. METHODOLOGY Hep par-...

OBJECTIVE To describe the clinico-pathological and radiological profile of hepatocellular carcinoma. STUDY DESIGN A case series. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Medical Unit-III Ward-7, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi, from January to December 2008. METHODOLOGY All consecutive patients suspected of having hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), were admitted and included in this study. Di...

Patient’s condition description consists of combination and changes of clinical measures. Conventional data processing methods and classification algorithms may reduce the prediction performance of clinical data.Inorder to improve the accuracy of clinical data outcome prediction by using feature selection method with multiple measurement support vector machine(MMSVM) classification algorithm is...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is highly prevalent in Asia. Antidepressants have been associated with increase in hepatocellular carcinoma. This is the first Asian population-based study to evaluate the association between antidepressant use and risk of HCC. Based on Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database, we conducted a nationwide population-based study. A total of 49,998 cases w...

Deregulated microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play important roles in cancer progression as a result of changes in expression of their target genes. In this study, we investigated the expression of miR-16b in eight hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines, revealed the roles of miR-26b on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, and confirmed that EphA2 i...

AIM One of the characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in Qidong area is the selective mutation resulting in a serine substitution at codon 249 of the p53 gene (1, 20), and it has been identified as a "hotspot" mutation in heptocellular carcinomas occurring in populations exposed to aflatoxin and with high prevalence of hepatitis B virus carriers (2,3,9, 10,16,24). We evaluated in thi...
