Final Report Abstract

The study aim was to identify not only a high-risk hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) genotype, serving as a predictor for recurrence but more importantly to elucidate the role of the apparently non-malignant remnant liver in HCC recurrence. Furthermore, we set out to characterize the role of HIF-1 and associated pathways on liver regeneration and HCC tumor recurrence. With our observation we contributed to the growing evidence that indeed an altered molecular signature of the apparently non-malignant liver tissue is one of the key mechanisms of HCC recurrence and metastasis.
