Hepatocellular carcinoma

Description

Macroscopic appearance of a large hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) resected from a patient with hepatitis C virus cirrhosis. Note the heterogeneous appearance with some necrotic areas. This macroscopic appearance translates into a heterogeneous degree of cell differentiation, as well as proliferation activity at a microscopic level. Should not be unexpected to find heterogeneous genomic profile when trying to characterise the tumour at a molecular level. As a result, efforts to profile HCC patients through biopsy sampling with the goal to refine prognosis prediction and therapeutic target identification may be an unrealistic enterprise.
