Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were classified into three groups based on the intensity and ratio of ERK nuclear expression. ERK-activated hepatocellular carcinoma is poorly differentiated with high serum alpha-fetoprotein levels, high vascular invasion, and high expression of Cytokeratin19 and SALL4, c-MET, ki-67, which is associated with cell proliferation and tumor malignancy. Quantitative analysis of intratumoral collagen and elastin fibers in HCC and clinico-pathoradiological study showed that stromal fiber-rich HCC were significantly associated with the biliary/stem cell markers-positive HCC subtype and likely represent a distinct clinico-pathoradiological entity.
