GALNT14-rs9679162 Genotypes Predict Post-immunotherapy Side Effect and Survival in Patients with Hepatitis B Virus-related Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Introduction: Genomic alterations have been reported to correlate with patients' response to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The present study aimed to examine whether single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is associated with ICI treatment-related side effects and progression-free survival (PFS) in HCC patients. Methods: This retrospective study included 96 patients with HBV-related HCC receiving ICI (atezolizumab ...

Emerging Oncolytic Viruses: Beyond Adenoviruses and Herpes Simplex Virus

Oncolytic virotherapy represents an innovative therapeutic modality in oncology, exploiting the selective tropism of viruses to target and eradicate malignant cells. Unlike conventional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, oncolytic viruses (OVs) exhibit a dual mechanism of action: direct tumor cell lysis and potent immune activation. This approach transforms tumors into in situ vaccines, generating durable anti-tumor immune memory. ...
