363P The TGFβ2/GSK3β/β-catenin axis shapes the aggressive phenotypes of macrotrabecular-massive HCC
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a formidable challenge in oncology, and among its diverse subtypes, Macrotrabecular-hepatocellular carcinoma (MTM-HCC) emerges as a particularly aggressive variant. MTM-HCC constitutes 10-15% of all HCC cases and is associated with dismal prognoses, marked by early recurrence and reduced overall survival. MTM-HCC is notably linked to vascular invasion, advanced tumor stages, HBV infection, and elevated alpha-fetoprotein levels. A unique feature of MTM-HCC is its sinusoid-like microvascular pattern,
