  • * A study involving nearly 2,000 non-resectable HCC patients showed that LMWA had comparable safety and overall survival rates to PRFA and significantly better survival rates than TACE after 1, 3, and 5 years.
  • * The results suggest that LMWA is a viable treatment option for early HCC, outperforming TACE while demonstrating similar efficacy to PRFA, which supports its potential inclusion in standardized treatment

The immunosuppressive nature of the tumor microenvironment poses a significant challenge to effective immunotherapies against glioblastoma (GB). Boosting the immune response is critical for successful therapy. Here, we adopted a cancer gene therapy approach to induce T-cell-mediated killing of the tumor through increased activation of the immune system.

  • * Patients with non-HCC MASLD faced higher mortality rates on the waiting list but projected better 5-year transplant survival benefits than those without MASLD or HCC.
