Journal: Efficient multiple treatments including molecular targeting agents in a case of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma, post-living donor liver transplantation. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 3, 2022 The patient was initially treated with sorafenib and rapamycin, right pleurectomy and upper and middle lobectomies were attempted as the second treatment...Subsequently, the newly molecular targeting agents; regorafenib and lenvatinib, approved for recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma in Japan, were administered...Unfortunately, sepsis caused by cholangitis and liver abscess required the discontinuation of lenvatinib, and the patient died 73 months after the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma. Multidisciplinary treatment including lenvatinib is potentially acceptable for recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation.

In contrast, two RET-selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), selpercatinib and pralsetinib, demonstrated high response rates and manageable safety profiles, and have received FDA approval for the treatment of advanced RET-positive NSCLC regardless of previous lines of treatment...Genomic recharacterization at progression could help guide treatment choice or enrolment in clinical trials of specific next-generation RET inhibitors. Here, we review the biology, clinicopathological characteristics, targeted therapies and mechanisms of resistance of advanced NSCLC harbouring RET fusions to provide treatment guidance for these patients.

In advanced HCC, lenvatinib has a comparable efficacy as sorafenib for the first-line therapy of HCC; while regorafenib, cabozantinib, and ramucirumab have been approved as second-line therapy after the failure of sorafenib...Atezolizumab plus bevacizumab is superior to sorafenib as the first-line therapy for advanced HCC...Systemic therapy may be used in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant, or even as initial therapy for intermediate-stage HCC. The paradigm shift of HCC treatment will improve patient outcomes.

In a global randomized phase III trial (IMbrave 150 trial), the most effective of the latest drug designs was newly-emerged combination immunotherapy (atezolizumab plus bevacizumab), which has shown significantly prolonged overall survival compared to sorafenib, which was the first-line systemic therapy for more than a decade. Now, the treatment dynamics for HCC are undergoing a major transition due to two important changes: the replacement of viral-related HCC by metabolic-related HCC and the emergence of combination immune therapy.

Journal: miR-6071 inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma progression via targeting PTPN11. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 28, 2022 Clinical cohort analysis revealed that HCC patients with high miR-6071 expression got more survival benefit from postoperative lenvatinib treatment than patients with low miR-6071 levels. In conclusion, our study demonstrated a regulation mechanism of LCSCs, a target against LSCSs, and a biomarker for postoperative lenvatinib treatment.
