Despite recent advancements in cancer treatments<\/a>, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of only a few forms that has seen a steady increase in occurrences\u00a0over the past few years. Scientists have identified a significant difference in this form that could hold the key to reversing that trend.<\/p>\n

What is HCC?<\/strong><\/p>\n

HCC is the most common form of liver cancer.\u00a0Close to 750,000 new cases are reported worldwide each year and it ranks as the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths. In addition, large numbers of patients develop metastases or suffer from reoccurrence of the tumors.<\/p>\n

HCC’s Link to Liver Diseases<\/strong><\/p>\n

While most cancers arise within relatively healthy tissues, HCC most frequently develops in livers that are chronically diseased due to hepatitis, inflammation or cirrhosis. This\u00a0hepatitis-B virus (HBV)-associated HCC creates a microenvironment that contributes toward tumor growth.<\/p>\n

Three scientists from the United States and China teamed up for a report on the topic that was published in the Beijing-based\u00a0National Science Review. The article is a summary of the complex interaction in the HBV-associated HCC microenvironment and how it impacts the onset, progression and metastasis of the cancer.<\/p>\n

What Does the Future Hold?<\/strong><\/p>\n

HBV in effect acts as a traffic cop for the intricate network of cells that make up the microenvironment. Scientists are encouraged that this function can be harnessed to help create a more effective treatment<\/a> for HCC.<\/p>\n
