Brief Summary

This is a national, observational, retrospective, cross-sectional, non-profit study focused on patients with HCC. The study aims to characterize the expression and function of novel noncoding regulatory transcripts, including those containing TEsin the microenvironment of liver tumors, with emphasis on their role in T cell dysfunction.

Eligibility Criteria

1. Histological/radiological (LR-4 o 5)diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). 2. Solid tumor fresh tissue availability from HCC biospy or surgical resectionas per standard clinical practice, and/orHCC FFPE archival samples availability. 3. Capability of understanding and signing an inform consent form. 4. Known hepatits B and C status, including HBeAg (positive or negative), viral load (HBVDNA e HCV-RNA), HCV genotype, whether sustained virological response (SVR)was obtainedand potential antiviral treatments received (including direct antiretroviral therapy(DAA)and interferon). These parameters will be exploited to stratify patients and analyze the impact of the virological status on microenvironmental immunological features, with particular regards to immunesuppression mechanisms.
