Oncofetal Gene <i>SALL4</i> in Aggressive Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Abstract

SALL4 is a marker for a progenitor subclass of hepatocellular carcinoma with an aggressive phenotype. The absence of SALL4 expression in the healthy adult liver enhances the potential of SALL4 as a treatment target in hepatocellular carcinoma.
