Genomic characterization of rare molecular subclasses of hepatocellular carcinoma

Jeffrey Damrauer, Markia Smith et al. used existing datasets from cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to characterize two subsets of HCC distinct from prototypical HCC tumors, based on comprehensive analysis of molecular data. The two classes differed from HCC by their copy n...

Sumario:Jeffrey Damrauer, Markia Smith et al. used existing datasets from cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to characterize two subsets of HCC distinct from prototypical HCC tumors, based on comprehensive analysis of molecular data. The two classes differed from HCC by their copy number, gene expression and mutational signature and exhibited worse progression free survival, highlighting the need to identify class-specific biomarkers and develop targeted therapies for these forms of cancer.
