Abstract

Proliferative growth of cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and other liver cancers, is counteracted by cell loss induced by various mechanisms of cell death. An intricate process to control cell mass in normal and neoplastic tissues is apoptosis, a complex form of tightly controlled cell death, and its numerous variants. Loss of tumor substance can also occur through necrosis which, in contrast to previous views, is a complex and controlled process rather than a passive phenomenon. In HCC, apoptosis is present as spherical eosinophilic bodies devoid of nuclei, the so-called apoptotic bodies, associated with drop-out of involved cells. The apoptotic response in HCC can be quantitatively assessed by immunohistochemical and molecular methods. Apoptosis in HCC not only involves the cancer cells, but also several classes of stromal cells, including cancer-associated fibroblasts and myofibroblasts, and stromal leukocytes. Death of these cells markedly affects the structure and function of the tumoral microenvironment.
