Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We detected and analyzed circulating tumor cells (CTC) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by targeting glypican-3, which is specifically highly expressed in HCC. This study showed that anatomical hepatectomy should be performed in cases with high CTC levels, even if the hepatocellular carcinoma is less than 3 cm in size. Furthermore, in a study of cases in which anatomical hepatectomy was performed, CTC in the portal vein were found to be a prognostic factor.
