30 Dec 2024
Abstract excerpt
Background and Aims: Hepatoblastoma (HBL) and fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLC) are the most common liver malignancies in children and young adults. FLC oncogenesis is associated with the generation of the fusion kinase, DNAJB1-PKAc (J-PKAc). J-PKAc has been found in 90% of FLC patients’ tumors but not in other liver cancers. Since previous studies of J-PKAc were performed with adolescent patients, we...
