Next-Generation Genomic Profiling of Hepatocellular Adenomas: A New Era of Individualized Patient Care

2014

Hepatocellular adenomas (HCAs) are clinically relevant benign liver lesions that commonly occur in women on hormonal contraceptives. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Pilati and colleagues present an integrative multi-“omics”-based analysis of HCA and identify recurrent genetic alterations associated with adenoma-carcinoma transition and new drugable targets.

Prognosis of resected intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

2017

Introduction. Complete resection stands as the only curative option for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC). Still, prognosis remains poor after resection due to a recurrence rate over 60% leading to actual 5-year survival rates below 20%. Reliable prognostic estimation and better understanding of tumor biology would be of interest for improving IHCC prognosis.Methods. Using clinical and biological data from two large cohort of resected IHCC (MSKCC, n=189 and AFC, n=522), three objectives have been explored. First, assessing the performances of different published prognostic models. Second, defining the reliability of preoperative prognostic estimation using imaging, tumoral genomic prof…

The personalized medicine is in a rapidly evolving scenario. The identification of actionable mutations is revolutionizing the therapeutic landscape of tumors. The morphological and histological tumor features are enriched by the extensive genomic profiling, and the first tumor-agnostic drugs have been approved regardless of tumor histology, guided by predictive and druggable genetic alterations. This new paradigm of "mutational oncology", presents a great potential to change the oncologic therapeutic scenario, but also some critical aspects need to be underlined. A process governance is mandatory to ensure the genomic testing accuracy and homogeneity, the economic sustainability, and the r…
