Hepatocellular carcinoma: pathobiology.
Efforts have been made to elucidate the genetic pathways that are altered during hepatocarcinogenesis.[10] Among the candidate genes involved, the p53, PIKCA,and β-catenin genes appear to be the most frequently mutated in patients with HCC. Additional investigations are needed to identify the signal pathways that are disrupted, leading to uncontrolled division in HCC. Two pathways involved in cellular differentiation (ie, Wnt-β-catenin, Hedgehog) appear to be frequently altered in HCC. Upregulated WNT signaling appears to be associated with preneoplastic adenomas with a higher rate of malignant transformation.
