[VIRTUAL] INVOLVEMENT OF FGF AND VEGF SIGNALING IN MULTI- KINASE INHIBITOR RESISTANCE IN HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA () - Oct 21, 2021 - Abstract #AASLD2021AASLD_1302; Background: The approval of atezolizumab in combination with bevacizumab as first-line therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma has brought about a major paradigm shift, but sequential therapy has become the mainstay after first-line treatment. The results suggest that the effects of FGF and VEGF signaling on sorafenib and lenvatinib resistance may be different .

[VIRTUAL] Kidney Pathology Findings in Patients with AKI Associated with Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors () - Oct 17, 2021 - Abstract #KIDNEYWEEK2021KIDNEY_WEEK_1367; Results We identified 13 cancer patients treated with Sunitinib, Cabozantinib, Lenvatinib, Regorafenib, Erlotinib, Osimertinib and Ibrutinib between 2018-2020 and developed acute kidney injury (AKI) attributed to possible TKI nephrotoxicity...Urine analysis was not predictive of the kidney pathology. Treating nephrotoxicity by discontinuation of the offending TKI was associated with partial kidney recovery, however patients had poor overall prognosis.

Retrospective data, Review, Journal: Comparative efficacy and safety of tyrosine kinase inhibitors for thyroid cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 16, 2021 The tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) sorafenib, lenvatinib, vandetanib, and cabozantinib are currently used for thyroid cancer treatment; however, the differences in their clinical efficacy and toxicity remain unclear...Although TKIs are promising agents for thyroid cancer treatment, they are unlikely to lead to a cure. Thus, even in the TKI era, a multimodal treatment including surgery, radioiodine therapy, external beam radiotherapy, and TKIs is required to optimize patient chances of improved survival.

Review, Journal: The Progress in the Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma With Portal Vein Tumor Thrombus. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 12, 2021 Besides the targeted therapy, more aggressive treatment modalities have been proposed and practiced in the clinic which may improve the prognosis of HCC patients with PVTT and prolong the patients' survival time, such as transarterial chemoembolization, radiotherapy, hepatic resection, liver transplantation, and various combination therapies. Herein, we aim to review and summarize the advances in the treatment of HCC with PVTT.

Review, Journal: Trends of rapamycin in survival benefits of liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 9, 2021 However, no sufficient evidence to date has proven that RAPA could increase long-term recurrence-free survival and its anti-tumor mechanism of combined therapy remains incompletely clear. In this review, we will focus on recent advances in clinical application experience and basic research results of RAPA in patients undergoing LT for HCC to further guide the clinical practice.

Review, Journal: Targeted therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 8, 2021 Over the same period combination therapies, including anti-angiogenesis agents with ICIs, dual ICIs and targeted agents in conjunction with surgery or other loco-regional therapies, have been extensively investigated and have shown promise and provided the basis for exciting clinical trials. Work continues to develop additional novel therapeutic agents which could potentially augment the presently available options and understand the underlying mechanisms responsible for drug resistance, with the goal of improving the survival of patients with HCC.
