Summary: Each year, the American Cancer Society compiles data on cancer occurrence and outcomes in the United States. The latest data shows that breast and prostate cancer progress has stagnated, while lung cancer has shown improvements in survival rates. Lung cancer incidence for advanced disease has declined while localized-stage rates have increased, resulting in higher survival rates. Mortality patterns align with incidence trends, with lung cancer deaths declining rapidly, breast cancer deaths slowing, and prostate cancer deaths stabilizing.

Emerging Therapies for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)

Eesha Chakraborty et al.

Summary: Primary liver cancer is a major global health challenge with a significant negative impact on patient survival. Conventional cancer treatments are often ineffective due to the resistance of liver cancer. This review explores new and advanced therapies, such as gene therapy and immunotherapy, as potential breakthroughs for more effective and safer treatment.

Molecular pathogenesis: Connections between viral hepatitis-induced and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis-induced hepatocellular carcinoma

Zelin Tian et al.

Summary: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), caused by viral hepatitis, alcoholic, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is the sixth most common cancer worldwide. Viral hepatitis accounts for 80% of HCC cases globally. NAFLD has become the most common liver disease and major risk factor for HCC in developed countries. This review discusses the specific and similar pathogenesis mechanisms of viral hepatitis-induced HCC and NAFLD-induced HCC, including viral proteins, genetic factors, epigenetic modifications, and abnormal lipid metabolism.

Evolution of Systemic Therapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Richard S. Finn et al.

Summary: In recent years, there has been a shift in focus towards novel drug development for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with attention being given to immune-oncology approaches. While there have been significant advancements in phase 3 studies in advanced HCC, there is still a need to optimize patient selection criteria and combination strategies to fully utilize the potential of these approaches in clinical practice. The next generation of studies will aim to translate the enhanced understanding of tumor biology into improved clinical trial designs.

The Current Landscape of Immune Checkpoint Blockade in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Review

Matthias Pinter et al.

Summary: Recent advancements in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have led to the approval of new systemic therapies such as angiogenesis inhibitors and immune checkpoint blockers, indicating important progress in the field. Strategies to target immunosuppression in tumors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor pathway inhibition and transforming growth factor-beta pathway inhibition, show promise in enhancing the efficacy of immunotherapy in HCC. Successes and failures of these treatments have provided insights into implementing novel systemic therapy in HCC and improving immunotherapy efficacy for this disease.

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.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Integrated bioinformatics analyses of key genes involved in hepatocellular carcinoma immunosuppression

Hongyan Huang et al.

Summary: This study aimed to identify key genes involved in HCC immunosuppression and establish an innate immune risk signature through comprehensive bioinformatics analysis. The constructed signature may be used to predict a poor prognosis and potentially serve as an immunotherapeutic target for patients with HCC.

Exploring Markers of Exhausted CD8 T Cells to Predict Response to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Chia-Lang Hsu et al.

Summary: Reversal of CD8 T-cell exhaustion is a key mechanism of anti-PD-1/PD-L1-based immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A 9-gene signature associated with T-cell exhaustion predicted better response to ICI therapy and improved survival outcomes. Patients with lung metastatic HCC may have higher response rates to ICI therapy.
