Objective: The aim of our study is to investigate probable differences between the incidence target sign detected by diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values metastases hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC).
 Materials Methods: A total 155 lesions obtained from 57 (female/male: 18/39) patients were included in study. Dimensions lesions, ...

Abstract In China, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is considered a malignant tumor with poor prognosis, frequent metastasis, and high relapse rate. Telocytes (TCs) participate in tumorigenic, invasive, migratory processes by secreting functional proteins transmitting cell-to-cell information, but their functions HCC are still unknown. TC counts MMP9 expression liver cancer tissues were measured ...

When do you need to take biopsies of the liver, and what information will get is topic this review on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). If, clinically, differential diagnosis HCC after imaging suggested, a biopsy has become obligatory as diagnostic confirmation in non-cirrhotic liver prior definitive therapeutic interventions, well palliative therapy concept. In case hepatic lesions with an uncha...

Recent studies on molecular carcinogenesis suggest that the chemo-resistance of some cancers is largely due to presence of cancer stem cells (CSCs), which affect the chemotherapy outcome for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, currently no consensus on a CSC phenotype in HCC has been obtained. Here, we examined Sox12 as a novel CSC marker in HCC. Sox12+ versus Sox12- cells were purified fr...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. The main etiologies of HCC are hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus (HCV), and non-hepatitis B/non-hepatitis C HCC (NBNC-HCC) has also been identified as an etiological factor. Although the incidence of HCV-related HCC in Japan has decreased slightly in recent years, that of NBNC-HCC has increased. The onset mec...

BACKGROUND Liver transplantation (LT) has been advocated as a salvage treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Selection criteria still need to be developed in Taiwan. OBJECTIVES The purpose of our study was to assess the clinical findings and outcome of cirrhotic patients with HCC undergoing liver transplantation. METHODS Our study consisted of 13 HCC patients who underwe...

Additional approaches to control malignancies are needed due to the emerging trends in the incidence of cancer of different organ sites. Due to the high frequency of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its poor prognosis, preventing HCC is an urgent priority. To explore the antioxidant and apoptotic pathways of grape seed extract (GSE) we induce HCC experimentally by diethylnitrosoamine (DEN) an...

Conventional strategies against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unsatisfactory due to its invasiveness and poor prognosis. Herein, it is utmost imperative require alternative modalities with less invasiveness, good clinical efficacy, low side effects. A combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) photodynamic (PDT) an emerging modality refractory HCC. To date a majority PTT/PDT paradigms ha...
