Correlation of Clinicopathological Profile, Prognostic Factors, and Survival Outcomes with Baseline Alfa-Fetoprotein Levels in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Biomarker that is Bruised but Not Broken

Vaneet Jearth et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the relationship between baseline serum AFP levels and clinicopathological profile, prognostic features, and survival outcomes in HCC patients. The study found that AFP >400 ng/ml was associated with impaired hepatic function, advanced disease, and poor prognosis. Moreover, elevated AFP levels were observed in a majority of small HCC and early-stage HCC patients. In patients receiving non-surgical therapies, higher AFP levels were associated with shorter overall survival.

TERT Gene rs2736100 and rs2736098 Polymorphisms are Associated with Increased Cancer Risk: A Meta-Analysis

Xinyu Zhang et al.

Summary: This study found that variants of the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene are closely associated with the risk of different types of cancer, with rs2736100 and rs2736098 showing a significant increase in cancer risk in all populations and exhibiting bidirectional effects in different tumors.

Telomerase RNA TERC and the PI3K-AKT pathway form a positive feedback loop to regulate cell proliferation independent of telomerase activity

Shu Wu et al.

Summary: This study reveals a novel function of telomerase RNA (TERC) in regulating cell proliferation through positive feedback regulation of the PI3K-AKT pathway. TERC activates the transcription of target genes from the PI3K-AKT pathway, and the activation of PI3K-AKT pathway induced by TERC also plays a critical role in the proliferation of CD4(+) T cells.

hTERT DNA Methylation Analysis Identifies a Biomarker for Retinoic Acid-Induced hTERT Repression in Breast Cancer Cell Lines

Eric Nguyen et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of ATRA on a subset of breast cancer cell lines and finds that ATRA treatment can inhibit the expression of hTERT, with an inverse relationship to the methylation level of a specific CpG at a region of the hTERT gene. This methylation profile could potentially serve as a biomarker to predict the sensitivity of specific breast cancer subtypes to ATRA-induced hTERT repression.

The potential impact of CYP2D6 (*2/*4/*10) gene variants among Egyptian epileptic children: A preliminary study

Afaf M. Elsaid et al.

Summary: CYP2D6*2 and CYP2D6*4 variants were found to be associated with increased risk among epilepsy patients, while the CYP2D6*10 variant was not. Among AEDs responsive patients, the CYP2D6*2 variant was statistically associated with disease risk, while the CYP2D6*4 variant was statistically correlated with disease risk among AEDs resistant patients.

Incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma in a community-based Taiwanese population without chronic HBV/HCV infection

Hui-Chen Wu et al.

Summary: This study examined the cumulative risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and mortality from liver-related disease among a non-hepatitis virus-infected population. It found that modifiable risk factors such as alcohol consumption, heart disease, diabetes, and abnormal liver function tests were strongly associated with an increased risk of HCC and mortality.

Whole-genome sequencing reveals the evolutionary trajectory of HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma early recurrence

Shao-Lai Zhou et al.

Summary: By conducting whole-genome sequencing on primary and early-recurrent HCC tumors, we identified two recurrence patterns and uncovered the evolutionary trajectories. We also identified recurrence-specific mutations and a potential therapeutic target for recurrent HCC. These findings provide important molecular insights for personalized therapy to improve patient survival.

Epidemiology of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Katherine A. McGlynn et al.

Summary: Liver cancer, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is a major global health concern. While HBV and HCV remain important risk factors for HCC, efforts in vaccination and treatment are showing promise. However, the increasing prevalence of metabolic risk factors like obesity and diabetes, as well as other factors like excessive alcohol consumption, present ongoing challenges in the prevention of liver cancer.

Telomere length is key to hepatocellular carcinoma diversity and telomerase addiction is an actionable therapeutic target

Massih Ningarhari et al.

Summary: Telomere length maintenance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is diverse and associated with tumor progression and aggressiveness. Anti-TERT antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) treatment in cell lines showed therapeutic efficacy through telomere shortening, DNA damage, and apoptosis activation, highlighting the potential for anti-TERT ASO treatment in HCC clinical trials.

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.

Unique situation of hepatocellular carcinoma in Egypt: A review of epidemiology and control measures

Reem Ezzat et al.

Summary: Hepatocellular carcinoma is a significant public health issue in Egypt, where a mass screening program for detecting and treating HCV has led to increased detection rates. A multidisciplinary approach to HCC management is widely applied, and various treatment modalities with success rates comparable to global levels are available in Egypt. The Egyptian health authorities have prioritized the elimination of HCV, which is expected to decrease the number of HCC cases in the near future.

Significance of TERT Genetic Alterations and Telomere Length in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Jeong-Won Jang et al.

Summary: TERT mutations are common in HCC and are associated with poorer overall survival after hepatectomy. TERT-telomere network plays a crucial role in HCC development and progression. TERT abnormalities could serve as useful biomarkers for HCC, but may have different prognostic values based on tumor characteristics and treatment.
