 | | Differentiation between well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and nonmalignant lesions with increased cellular proliferation may be difficult in needle biopsies. | | | Fibrolamellar carcinoma arises in noncirrhotic livers of young individuals and has been considered to be less aggressive than conventional hepatocellular carcinoma. | | | Proteinases and growth factors that are involved in the remodeling of extracellular matrix may influence the behavior of cancers. |

| | "The prognosis for patients with decompensated hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related liver cirrhosis, especially for those with hepatocellular carcinoma, is poor," wrote Morikazu Onji, MD, PhD, in the department of Internal Medicine at Ehime University School of Medicine in Ehime, Japan, and his cohorts. | | | Five-year surgical outcomes for patients with stages I to III hepatocellular carcinoma seem equivalent to those of non-cancer patients, a finding that may open liver transplantation to more patients. | | | Hepatocellular carcinoma occurs frequently in patients with chronic liver disease who are listed for liver transplants. |

| | Fibrolamellar carcinoma is not associated with cirrhosis and has been associated with an improved prognosis.[4,5,6] The improved outcome may be due to a higher proportion of tumors being less invasive and more resectable, as the outcome in recent prospective studies, when compared stage for stage, is not different from other hepatocellular carcinomas.[7,8] | | | Katzenstein HM, Krailo MD, Malogolowkin MH, et al.: Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma in children and adolescents. | | | Hepatocellular carcinoma also differs from hepatoblastoma in that it often arises in a previously abnormal, cirrhotic liver. |
