Integrated multi-Omics and network toxicology elucidate the multi-target mechanisms of environmental hormones in driving hepatocellular carcinoma
This study systematically reveals that EDCs promote HCC initiation and progression by perturbing cell cycle, metabolic, and immune homeostasis through multi-target, multi-pathway mechanisms. The nine-gene risk model demonstrates superior performance in HCC diagnosis and prognosis and shows potential clinical translational value in drug-sensitivity prediction and pan-cancer analyses. This work provides a new perspective at the intersection of environmental toxicology and precision oncology and informs individualized therapeutic strategies.
