Hepatic hemangiomas are common benign liver tumors. While the majority are small and require no treatment, giant hemangiomas are characterized as measuring greater than 4-6 cm in size and may require intervention. Surgical resection and enucleation have been described historically as the treatment for giant hemangiomas requiring intervention. Additionally, limited data exists about the treatment of hemangiomas measuring greater than 20 cm, particularly in regards to transarterial chemoembolization. We present a case of a super-giant hemangioma measuring greater than 20 cm treated with transarterial chemoembolization alone.

Purpose: To provide a detailed pooled analysis of the diagnostic accuracy of microRNAs (miRNAs) in predicting the response to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science to identify studies assessing the diagnostic performance of miRNAs in predicting TACE response in HCC. Two independent reviewers performed quality assessment and data extraction using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2) tool.

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a significant factor in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and might serve as a crucial marker for predicting HCC prognosis and therapy response. However, the classification of HCC based on diverse PCD patterns requires further investigation. This study identified a novel molecular classification named PCD subtype (C1, C2, and C3) based on the genes associated with 19 PCD patterns, distinguished by clinical, biological functional pathways, mutations, immune characteristics, and drug sensitivity.

Purpose: To develop and validate an MRI-based model for predicting postoperative early (≤2 years) recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients receiving upfront surgical resection (SR) for beyond Milan hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to assess the model's performance in separate patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy for similar-stage tumors.

Method: This single-center retrospective study included consecutive patients with resectable BCLC A/B beyond Milan HCC undergoing upfront SR or neoadjuvant therapy. All images were independently evaluated by three blinded radiologists.

Background: The combination of local therapy with lenvatinib and programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitors represents an emerging treatment paradigm for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC). Our study sought to investigate the interrelationship between gut microbiota and intratumoral microbiota in the context of triple therapy, with a view to identifying potential biological markers.

Methods: The gut microbial community profiles of patients with primary untreated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and those treated with local therapy combined with lenvatinib and PD-1 inhibitors were analyzed by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing.
