Molecular correlates of clinical response and resistance to atezolizumab in combination with bevacizumab in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma

Andrew X. Zhu et al.

Summary: This study analyzed tumor samples from patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and found that combination therapy with atezolizumab and bevacizumab was effective in treating this type of cancer. Patients with high expression of VEGF Receptor 2, regulatory T cells, and myeloid inflammation signatures showed better outcomes with the combination therapy compared to atezolizumab alone. These findings provide insights into baseline immune and genetic features that can identify patients who will benefit from the combination therapy of atezolizumab and bevacizumab in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

Self-Activated Cascade-Responsive Sorafenib and USP22 shRNA Co-Delivery System for Synergetic Hepatocellular Carcinoma Therapy

Shengjun Xu et al.

Summary: Resistance to sorafenib in hepatocellular carcinoma is closely linked to cancer stemness, with the lack of effective methods to reverse this stemness being a major obstacle in current HCC therapeutics. The development of Gal-SLPs, which target HCC and co-deliver sorafenib and shUSP22, shows promising results in suppressing USP22 expression, inhibiting multidrug resistance, and efficiently inhibiting HCC cell viability and proliferation. In vivo studies using a sorafenib-insensitive patient-derived xenograft model demonstrate potent antitumor effects and biosafety of Gal-SLPs, suggesting their potential in clinical HCC treatment.

Hepatocellular carcinoma

Josep M. Llovet et al.

Summary: Liver cancer, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), poses a significant global health challenge with rising incidence projected to exceed 1 million cases by 2025. Infection by hepatitis B and C viruses remains a major risk factor for HCC, while non-alcoholic steatohepatitis is emerging as a more common risk factor in Western countries. Advances in systemic therapies for HCC, including immunotherapies and targeted therapies, are expected to revolutionize the management of this disease.
