Article Abstract

Isolated cardiac involvement of recurrent metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is extremely rare. We report a patient with left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction due to isolated recurrent HCC involving the interventricular septum (IVS). A ventriculotomy with resection of the tumor and patch repair of the IVS was performed with successful relief of LVOT obstruction. The patient was discharged home 6 days later symptom-free.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficiency and safety of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) combined with lenvatinib and programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitor for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and lung metastasis.

Methods: In this multicenter retrospective study, treatment-naive patients with advanced (BCLC stage C) HCC and lung metastases who received lenvatinib and PD-1 inhibitor - with or without HAIC - between January 2019 and January 2024 were reviewed. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to balance baseline characteristics between the two groups.

Objectives: Hepatocellular carcinoma is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, and almost all patients have simultaneous cirrhosis. For patients with hepatocellular carcinoma concurrent with cirrhosis, the best treatment option is liver transplant. With expansion of transplant criteria and increased use of liver transplant for treatment, median survival and recurrence rates in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma have also increased.

Risankizumab (RZB) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that selectively targets interleukin-23 (IL-23). It has proven particularly effective in treating psoriasis, a common chronic inflammatory skin disease. However, its use remains poorly documented in certain populations, including patients with a history of solid organ transplantation or recent/active malignancy.

Objective: Peptide-encoding roles of lncRNAs are emerging in cancer biology. This study explores the function of the CCAT1-70aa peptide in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its underlying mechanisms.

Methods: Immunohistochemistry was used to detect CCAT1-70aa expression in HCC and adjacent tissues.

Hepatic reactive lymphoid hyperplasia diagnosed through post-ablation liver tumor biopsy.

Hepatic reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH), also known as hepatic pseudolymphoma, is a rare benign condition that predominantly affects middle-aged-to-elderly women and is often associated with autoimmune disorders. The imaging features of hepatic RLH frequently mimic those of malignant hepatic tumors, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), cholangiocarcinoma, or metastatic liver tumors, making its diagnosis based solely on imaging modalities challenging, often leading to unnecessary surgical resection. However, the optimal diagnostic strategy for hepatic RLH remains controversial.
