Expression, Cellular Distribution, and Prognostic Relevance of TRAIL Receptors in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Abstract

This pilot study suggests that loss of TRAIL receptors is a frequent feature of HCCs and an independent predictor of survival in patients undergoing partial hepatectomy. Future therapeutic protocols are likely to profit from the characterization of their expression and cellular distribution. Clin Cancer Res; 16(22); 5529-38. ©2010 AACR.
