Brief Title: Analysis of Expression of Specific Markers in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Official Title: Analysis of the Incidence of Expression of a Specific Set of Genes and of Tumor Antigens in Cancer Tissue From Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Study ID: NCT00858000
Brief Summary: Hepatocellular carcinoma is an aggressive disease with limited therapeutic options. Therefore, new approaches to treat this type of cancer are needed with immunotherapy potentially being one of these. As a first step in the development of novel therapies, expression analysis of specific markers, including tumor antigens will be carried out. This will be done retrospectively using available hepatocellular carcinoma tissue samples.
