Crunching the data: New liver cancer subtypes revealed immunologically

(Tokyo Medical and Dental University) Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) researchers used substantial datasets on liver cancer patients to develop a new classification of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) into three distinct subgroups with different genetic, immunological, and clinical features. The findings of HCC subtypes related to metabolic disease, immunosuppression, or mitogenic/stem-cell-like tumors should aid the development of more targeted treatment and promote the fight against this devastating disease.
