on the Advances in the Prevention of Liver Cancer The symposium was organized by the Hong Kong Society of Gastroenterology on 8th May, 1987 in Sheraton Hotel and it was well attended. According to Dr. C.L. Lai, the first of the three speakers, hepatitis B virus (HBV) was almost certain to play a causal role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and it satisfied at least four of Zuckerman's criteria of an oncogenic virus in that:— 1. HBV preceeded HCC, the relative risk of HCC in a HBsAg carrierwas200-250. 2. HCC tumor cells stained positvely of HBsAg. 3. HCC cell lines could produce HB viral agents. 4. Carcinoma could be reproduced by HBV infection in animals. In 20 years time, we could see whether HBV would satisfy the fifth criterion in that active immunization against HBV could reduce the incidence of HCC or not. Certain epidemiological and research data showed that aflatoxin Bl, cirrhosis, nonA nonB ...

Abstract. To uncover mechanisms underlying progression of colorectal carcinogenesis and to identify genes associated with liver metastasis, we analyzed expression profiles of 14 primary colorectal cancers (CRCs) with liver metastases, and compared them with profiles of 11 non-metastatic carcinomas and those of 9 adenomas of the colon. A hierarchical cluster analysis using data from a cDNA microarray containing 23,040 genes indicated that the cancers with metastasis had different expression profiles from those without metastasis, although a number of genes were commonly up-regulated in primary cancers of both categories. We documented 54 genes that were frequently up-regulated and 375 that were frequently down-regulated in primary tumors with metastases to liver , but not in tumors without metastasis. Subsequent quantitative PCR experiments confirmed that PRDX4, CKS2, MAGED2 , and an EST (GenBank ...
