Mashup Score: 83
Opdivo plus Yervoy demonstrates statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival compared to investigator’s choice of sorafenib or lenvatinib Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) today announced the Phase 3 CheckMate -9DW trial evaluating Opdivo (nivolumab) plus Yervoy (ipilimumab) as a first-line treatment for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have not received prior systemic therapy met its primary endpoint of improved overall survival (OS) compared to investigator’s choice of sorafenib or lenvatinib at a pre-specified interim analysis. The dual immunotherapy combination of Opdivo plus Yervoy demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in OS compared to investigator’s choice of sorafenib or lenvatinib. The safety profile for the combination of Opdivo plus Yervoy remained consistent with previously reported data and was manageable with established protocols, with no new safety signals

Mashup Score: 26Incidence of Etiology-specific Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Diverging Trends and Significant Heterogeneity by Race and Ethnicity - 2 month(s) ago
The main causes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) include chronic hepatitis C and B viral infections (HCV, HBV), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and alcohol-related disease (ALD). Etiology-specific HCC incidence rates and temporal trends on a population-basis are needed to improve HCC control and prevention.

Mashup Score: 7USP11 potentiates HGF/AKT signaling and drives metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma - Oncogene - 5 month(s) ago
USP11 is a member of the ubiquitin-specific protease family and plays a crucial role in tumor progression in various cancers. However, the precise mechanism by which USP11 promotes EMT and metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is not fully understood. In this study, we demonstrated that the USP11 expression was dramatically upregulated in HCC tissues and cell lines. Increased USP11…
