Excerpt
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer, and its incidence has increased. Treatment of HCC, particularly hepatic resection, has improved during the past decades, but the rate of recurrence remains high.
1 Ferroptosis, a new type of cell death caused by lipid peroxidation in an iron-dependent manner, has received much attention in HCC.
2 Transferrin receptor protein (TFR) is known as a ferroptosis marker, but the detailed relationship between TFR expression and sensitivity to ferroptosis inducers, such as artesunate (AS), lenvatinib (LEN), and sorafenib (SOR), is not understood to date. …
