Despite, new diagnostic and treatment techniques, the wide majority of patients are still diagnosed too late and only from 5% to 10% of patients are qualified for tumour surgical resection. Up to date, treatment for advanced, inoperable liver tumors includes systemic chemotherapy, sorafenib therapy and selective, local arterial injection of chemotherapeutic drug into tumour vessels with simultaneous vessel closure - transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE). Beceause of recent development of palliative treatment techniques, the treatment guidelines are changed, especially in advanced stage disease with HCC...

Transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-beta-1) is a multifunctional cytokine involved in the regulation of growth and differentiation of both normal and transformed cells. The main aim of this study was to determine whether TGF-beta-1 or alpha fetoprotein (AFP) or the combination of the two is a better indicator for hepatocellularcarcinoma (HCC). Serum TGF-beta-1 and AFP were measured by ELISA in 40 healthy subjects, 23 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 70 patients with hepatitis B, 26 patients with hepatitis C and 16 patients with liver cirrhosis (LC)...

Cholangiocarcinoma (CC) and hepatocellularcarcinoma (HCC) are two main forms of liver malignancies, which exhibit differences in drug response and prognosis. Immunohistotochemical staining for cytokeratin markers has been used to some success in the differential diagnosis of CC from HCC. However, there remains a need for additional markers for increased sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis. In this study, we have identified a p38 MAP kinase, p38delta (also known as MAPK13 or SAPK4) as a protein that is upregulated in CC relative to HCC and to normal biliary tract tissues...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the world's leading fatal malignancies. Chronic infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been implicated with the development of HCC. For the past three decades, intensive research has focused on the role of HBV in hepatocarcinogenesis. Various HBV-associated models have emerged, but increasing evidence points to two major HBV-specific mechanisms that contribute to the development of HCC. The first is the integration of the viral genome into the host chromosome causing cis-effects, resulting in loss of tumor suppressor gene functions, and/or activation of tumor-promoting genes...

In animals, the bone marrow (BM) is a source of liver-repopulating cells with therapeutic potential in case of tissue damage. However, the early response of human BM-derived stem cells (SC) to liver injury is still unknown. Here, we studied 24 patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) for end-stage liver disease or hepatocellularcarcinoma, and 13 patients submitted to liver resection. The concentration of circulating BM-derived SC was determined by phenotypic analysis and clonogenic assays...

UNLABELLED: Drug addicts frequently have liver diseases for different reasons: alcohol abuse, the drugs themselves, but more often hepatitis B and C infections. AIDS is common in this population as well and could also affect the liver directly or in the form of hepatocellular or biliary damage. We conducted this study to determine the prevalence of liver diseases, alcoholism, hepatitis B and C infections, and HIV positivity in this population. We studied a cohort of 137 persons, all with a history of drug abuse, and investigated the quantity of alcohol intake, the kind of drug used, and he routes of drug administration...

The blood flow through normal liver parenchyma and a pathologically proven hepatic region of focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) of the lateral lobe, was measured in a single patient in a quantitative manner using regional dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with O-15 carbon dioxide (steady state) and O-15 water (dynamic state). The steady state PET images revealed higher radioactivity concentration in the lateral lobe than in the surrounding normal liver parenchyma. Regional and total blood flow in the region of FNH, as determined by the dynamic state method, was 292...

Turmeric, widely used in food and medicine has been shown to prevent benzo(a)pyrene [B(a)P] or dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-induced forestomach, skin and mammary tumors in mice and/or rats. In this study we examine the modulatory effects of turmeric on nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA)-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in rats. Female Wistar rats were administered NDEA (200 ppm) through drinking water (5 days per week) for 4 weeks. Control and/or NDEA-treated rats received 0, 0.2, 1.0 or 5.0% turmeric diet (w/w) either before (2 weeks), during (4 weeks) and after NDEA exposure (10 weeks) or starting from 24 h after NDEA exposure for 10 weeks...

Cancer chemopreventive potential of Cancare, a multi-herbal formulation on chemically induced tumours was studied by N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) induced hepatocarcinogenesis in rats and 20-methylcholanthrene (20-MC) induced sarcoma development in mice. Oral administration of Cancare was found to inhibit the liver tumour development induced by N-nitrosodiethylamine. Animals administered with NDEA had visible liver tumours by the end of 30th weeks and the liver weight was raised to 6.1 +/- 1.4 g/ 100 g body wt...

Twenty patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma were treated by zinostatin stimalamer-transcatheter arterial embolization (SMANCS-TAE). After administration of SMANCS, a superselective catheterization technique was used to inject gelatin sponge particles into the artery or artery branch supplying the cancer-bearing segment. We compared the results of SMANCS-TAE with Lipiodol (Yamanouchi, Tokyo, Japan)-TAE performed during the same period. In 18 of 20 patients (90%), a tumor necrosis rate of 100% (grade 4) was obtained after one or two courses of SMANCS-TAE...

With loco-regional chemotherapy high local concentration of antineoplastic products can be achieved without systemic toxicity. However local toxicity and technical problems are frequent and limit its use. Intra arterial chemotherapy (IAC) is interesting when the drugs used have a high total body clearance. One of the best indication of IAC is the intra-hepatic chemotherapy with anthracyclin for hepatocellularcarcinoma (40-60% objective response) and metastatic carcinoid. Among other IAC the IA limbs perfusions for soft tissue sarcoma have given interesting results...

Hepatocellularcarcinoma (HCC) that occur in woodchucks chronically infected with woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV) were screened for activation of cellular oncogenes. Enhanced expression and allelic alterations of the c-myc oncogene were found in three HCC out of nine. Variations in the size of the c-myc transcripts, ranging from 2.0 kilobases (kb) to 5.6 kb, as well as in the level of c-myc gene expression, 5-50-fold higher than in adjacent liver tissues, were observed among the three HCC. Rearrangements of the c-myc locus were either upstream of the gene or within the first intron...

Serum alpha 1 antitrypsin, alpha 1 acid glycoprotein and beta 2 glycoprotein I concentrations were determined in 36 patients with malignant hepatocellularcarcinoma, 30 with cirrhosis and 35 with hepatitis by quantitative immunoelectrophoresis. Serum alpha 1 antitrypsin and alpha 1 acid glycoprotein levels were significantly higher in patients with hepatocellularcarcinoma than in those with cirrhosis (p less than 0.001) or hepatitis (p less than 0.001).
