Aims: The hepatic perivascular epithelioid cell tumour (PEComa), including angiomyolipoma, exhibits diverse morphology and clinical behaviour; however, its prognostic features remain undefined. This study aimed to investigate its histological features and prognostic factors.
Methods And Results: In total, 132 patients were included.

Constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) is a xenosensor that is almost exclusively expressed in the liver. Studies in rodents suggest an oncogenic role for CAR in liver cancer, but its role in human liver cancer is unclear. We aimed to investigate the functional roles of CAR in human liver cancer with a focus on the liver cancer stem cells.

Introduction: The standard treatment of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) is surgery with perioperative chemotherapy. A tumor response to systemic therapy confirmed at pathology examination is the strongest predictor of survival, but it cannot be adequately predicted in the preoperative setting. This bi-institutional retrospective study investigates whether CT-based radiomics of CRLM and peritumoral tissue provides a reliable non-invasive estimation of the pathological tumor response to chemotherapy.

Pediatric liver transplantation (PLT) is a life-saving procedure for children with end-stage liver disease. However, post-transplant monitoring, particularly the diagnosis and prognosis of complications such as allograft fibrosis, remains challenging. Traditionally, liver biopsy has been the gold standard for assessing allograft fibrosis, despite its invasive nature and inherent procedural risks.

Complex liver cancer is often difficult to expose or dissect, and the surgery is often challenging. 3D-printed models may realistically present 3D anatomical structure, which has certain value in planning and training of liver surgery. However, the existing 3D-printed models are all monolithic models, which are difficult to reuse and limited in clinical application.
