Targeted Therapy and Emerging Biomarkers for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a major global health challenge with limited therapeutic options and substantial tumor heterogeneity. Recent advances in molecular profiling have accelerated the development of targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and rational combination strategies that hold promise for overcoming treatment resistance. This Special Issue focuses on current progress in oncogenic signaling pathways, predictive biomarkers for patient stratification, and next-generation therapeutic approaches. We particularly emphasize innovative combination regimens integrating targeted agents with immunotherapy, as well as emerging novel therapies that may transform HCC management. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive forum for cutting-edge research advancing precision oncology and improving clinical outcomes for HCC patients.
