Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common tumors worldwide. Various factors in the tumor environment (TME) can lead to the activation of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), thereby affecting the occurrence and development of tumors. The objective of our study was to develop and validate a radiogenomic signature based on ERS to predict prognosis and systemic combination therapy response.

Background: CA19-9 is a classical tumor marker and plays an important role in the diagnosis of biliary and pancreatic cancer. However, a few cases reported that the tumor maker CA19-9 is abnormally elevated in patients with calculous cholecystitis, but the relation between severity of calculous cholecystitis and serum CA19-9 level are still unknown.

Methods: Total 105 calculous cholecystitis patients from first hospital were collected and divided into high serum CA19-9 group(high group, n = 35) and normal serum CA19-9 group(normal group, n = 70).

We hypothesize that preoperative plasma copeptin measurement helps predict the vasopressor infusion requirement during liver transplantation in preoperative evaluation.
