New treatment option for Hepatic Cancer
Official title Immunohistochemical Algorithm for the Diagnosis and Classification of Hepatocellular Carcinomas With TERT, TP53 and CTNNB1 Mutation
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06718153
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The presence of certain mutations in HCC, such as TERT and TP53, have a suspected or proven prognostic role in resected patients, but lack a morphological or immunophenotypic counterpart, which would allow us to define which tumours are rationally candidate for molecular biology analysis. The identification of a histological and immunohistochemical algorithm to determine which HCCs to take to NGS for prognostic purposes will save time and economic costs in the laboratory by rationalising available resources.
