Analysis of Expression of Specific Markers and Their Prognostic Significance in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

May 25, 2017 updated by: GlaxoSmithKline

Analysis of the Incidence of Expression of Tumor Antigens and Tumor Marker in Cancer Tissue From Asian Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Evaluation of Prognostic Significance of These Tumor Antigens.

Hepatocellular carcinoma is an aggressive disease with limited therapeutic options. Therefore, new approaches to treat this type of cancer are needed with immunotherapy potentially being one of these. As a first step in the development of novel therapies, expression analysis of specific markers, including tumor antigens will be carried out, and the correlation of expression with disease variables and clinical outcome will be assessed. This will be done retrospectively using archived hepatocellular carcinoma tissue samples.
