Strategies for hepatocellular carcinoma therapy and diagnostics: lessons learned from high throughput and profiling approaches

Abstract

Over the last decade, numerous small and high-dimensional profiling analyses have been performed in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which address different levels of regulation and modulation. Because comprehensive analyses are lacking, the following review summarizes some of the general results and compares them with insights from other tumor entities. Particular attention is given to the impact of these results on future diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
