Tenofovir Hampers the Efficacy of Sorafenib in Prolonging Overall Survival in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Sorafenib is a first-line treatment for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). These patients may simultaneously receive anti-hepatitis B treatment if they are viremic. The <i>N-Acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 14</i> (<i>GALNT14</i>) gene can serve as a biomar...

Tenofovir Hampers the Efficacy of Sorafenib in Prolonging Overall Survival in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
