Article Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) hemorrhaging/rupture is a rare adverse effect of lenvatinib, and only limited pathological examinations have been reported. This report presents the case of a 69-year-old man who suffered from cardiac arrest and died 7 days after starting lenvatinib treatment for HCC, with an autopsy subsequently performed. Crack and coagulated blood were observed in the largest tumor. Pathologically, the hemorrhaging area was scattered in nearly all of the HCC lesions, regardless of tumor differentiation. This pathological feature is unusual in normal HCC. Thus, it is believed to have been the effect of lenvatinib.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-associated death globally. Second-line therapies are crucial for improving survival and quality of life among individuals suffering from advanced HCC who have not responded to first-line therapies. This study sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy of different second-line therapies for advanced HCC by network meta-analysis.

Background: Since Ludwig proposed the term "nonalcoholic steatohepatitis" (NASH) for this liver disease in 1980, there have been many advances in understanding it, including its epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnostic methods, and treatment.

Objective: This literature review aims to discuss the most relevant aspects of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

Methods: The review included clinical studies from the following databases: Embase, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Lilacs, Ovid, and Scopus.

Cyclin-dependent kinase 20 (CDK20), also known as cell cycle-related kinase (CCRK), plays a pivotal role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression by regulating β-catenin signaling and promoting uncontrolled proliferation. Despite its emerging significance, selective small-molecule inhibitors of CDK20 remain unexplored. In this study, a known CDK20 inhibitor, ISM042-2-048, was employed as a reference to retrieve structurally similar compounds from the PubChem database using an 85% similarity threshold.

Background: Postoperative late recurrence (POLAR) after 2 years from the date of surgical resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a unique surveillance and management challenge. Despite identified risk factors, individualized prediction tools to guide personalized surveillance strategies for recurrence remain scarce. The current study sought to develop a predictive model for late recurrence among patients undergoing HCC resection.

Viral hepatitis is associated with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Hepatitis A and E viruses are enterally transmitted and typically cause acute self-limited hepatitis. Hepatitis B, C, and D viruses are parenterally transmitted and can cause chronic hepatitis, with potential progression to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
