Lipid Droplet Accumulation Mediates Macrophage Survival and Treg Recruitment via the CCL20/CCR6 Axis in Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Lipid Droplet Accumulation Mediates Macrophage Survival and Treg Recruitment in Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma via the CCL20/CCR6 Axis Background Macrophages are a major component of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and regulate the entire tumor process. In the TME, macrophages exhibit dynamic heterogeneity and plasticity, which affects their role ...

A Novel Stratification Scheme Combined with Internal Arteries in CT Imaging for Guiding Postoperative Adjuvant Transarterial Chemoembolization in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Retrospective Cohort Study on Innovative Stratification Scheme Based on Postoperative Combined CT Imaging to Guide Postoperative Adjuvant Transarterial Chemoembolization for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common cancer globally and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths. For HCC, live...

Watch-and-Wait Strategy vs. Resection in Patients with Radiologic Complete Response After Conversion Therapy for Initially Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Propensity Score-Matching Comparative Study

Observation vs Surgical Resection for Initial Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma after Conversion Therapy Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common cancer globally and the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Partial hepatectomy can provide a 5-year survival rate of 70-80% in the treatment of early-stage HCC....
