Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide and the first for primary liver tumors. In recent years greater therapeutic advancement was represented by employment of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) either in monotherapy or in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).

Areas Covered: Major attention was given to target therapies in the last couple of years, especially in those currently under phase II trials. Priority was given either to combinations of novel ICI and TKIs or those targeting alternative mutations of major carcinogenic pathways.

Expert Opinion: As TKIs are playing a more crucial role in HCC therapeutic strategies, it is fundamental to further expand molecular testing and monitoring of acquired resistances. Despite the recent advancement in both laboratory and clinical studies, further research is necessary to face the discrepancy in clinical practice.

The role of autophagy related 12 (ATG12) in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma and its prognostic value.

Discov Oncol

Department of Hospital Infection Management, Zhongshan Hospital Qingpu Branch, Fudan University, Shanghai, 201700, China.

The aim of our research was to explore the character of autophagy related 12 (ATG12) in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A total of  145 HCC tissues as well as paired adjacent normal tissues were collected, then immunohistochemistry was conducted to access the expression of ATG12. HCC cells were transfected with pcDNA ATG12 or si-ATG12 to overexpress ATG12 or downregulate ATG12.

Hepatitis is a chronic inflammatory liver disease and an important cause of liver fibrosis, which can progress to cirrhosis and even hepatocellular carcinoma if left untreated. However, liver fibrosis is a reversible disease, so finding new intervention targets and molecular markers is the key to preventing and treating liver fibrosis.

Background: The global prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is approximately 30%, and the condition can progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) has been shown to be effective in treating obesity and related disorders, including NAFLD.

Objective: In this study, comprehensive machine learning was used to identify biomarkers for precise treatment of NAFLD from the perspective of MBS.
