Precision pathology analysis of the development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma: Implication for precision diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract: Outcomes for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain poor because the condition is often unresponsive to the available treatments. Consequently, the early and precise diagnosis of HCC is crucial to achieve improvements in prognosis. For patients with chronic liver disease, the assessment of liver fibrosis is also important to ascertain both the staging of fibrosis and the risk of HCC occurrence. Early HCC was first described in 1991 in Japan and was defined internationally in 2009. As the concept o… Show more

“…In a recent research breakthrough, the HBP of EOB-MRI predicted the WNT/β-catenin mutation that induces OATP1B3 [15,33]. This suggests that EOB-MRI can be useful in the clinical setting for identifying the immune exclusion class that is highly unlikely to respond to ICI monotherapy.…”

“…These predictions were successfully proven clinically in the study of Harding et al [13] mentioned earlier. In contrast, high PD-L1 expression is associated with CK19 and SALL4 expression, and ICI monotherapy should be effective in HCC with these characteristics [8,33,34] (Fig. 2, 5).…”

“…One possible reason for the low PD rate of combination therapy with TKI is that lenvatinib and other multikinase inhibitors cause greater tumor necrosis and release of tumor antigens than bevacizumab, and therefore combination therapy with TKI enhances immune response against Teng's type II HCC. Combination regimens with an ICI plus an anti-VEGF antibody or TKI should be effective against tumors with WNT/β-catenin mutations [23][24][25][26] (Fig. 3).…”

“…These tumors are further subclassified according to histopathological tumor grade (e.g., well, moderately, poorly differentiated), appearance of tumor cell and tumor stroma, driver gene mutations and molecular signatures, some of which are significantly associated with clinicopathological findings, while others are not. [2][3][4] In HCC, current WHO classification highlights several histopathological subtypes with characteristic stromal features. 1 Lymphocyte-rich HCC, formerly known as lymphoepithelioma-like HCC, is characterized by marked infiltration of lymphocytes into tumor nests and associated with a significantly better prognosis.…”

“…2,3,7,8 At the same time, novel findings from molecular analysis have been applied to the routine pathological assessment of liver carcinoma. [1][2][3][4]7,8 Tumor tissue is composed of tumor cells and tumor stroma. Tumor stroma contains fibroblasts, endothelial cells, pericytes, extracellular matrix and immune cells, forming a complex tumor microenvironment.…”
