Background/objective: The treatment strategy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with Vp4 (main trunk) portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) remains controversial due to the dismal prognosis. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) plus lenvatinib and tislelizumab in these patients.
Methods: This multicenter retrospective study included treatment-naive HCC patients with Vp4 PVTT from 2017 to 2022.

Purpose Of Review: Low phospholipid-associated cholelithiasis (LPAC) syndrome is a rare genetic form of intrahepatic cholesterol lithiasis, affecting mainly young adults. This review describes the recent advances in genetic and clinical characterization, diagnosis and management of LPAC syndrome.
Recent Findings: Recent publications report data from several retrospective cohorts.

Severe damage to the intrahepatic biliary duct (IHBD) network occurs in multiple human advanced cholangiopathies, such as primary sclerosing cholangitis, biliary atresia and end-stage primary biliary cholangitis. Whether and how a severely damaged IHBD network could reconstruct has remained unclear. Here we show that, although the gallbladder is not directly connected to the IHBD, there is a common hepatic duct (CHD) in between, and severe damage to the IHBD network induces migration of gallbladder smooth muscle cells (SMCs) to coat the CHD in mouse and zebrafish models.

Background: High subcutaneous adipose tissue radiodensity (SATr), an indirect surrogate marker of adipose tissue quality, was associated with poor prognosis in various cancers. The present study aimed to assess the association of SATr with survival outcomes in patients with advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC).
Methods: This retrospective, single-center study included patients with unresectable or recurrent BTC who underwent chemotherapy/chemoradiotherapy.

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is involved in cancer initiation and progression. With advances in the TME field, numerous therapeutic approaches, such as antiangiogenic treatment and immune checkpoint inhibitors, have been inspired and developed. Nevertheless, the sophisticated regulatory effects on the biological balance of the TME remain unclear.
