Project description
 

Hepatocellular carcinoma is third cause of cancer-related mortality. Cytostatics provide no improved survival. Chemoresistance modification is needed. Hypoxia and endoplasmic reticulum stress can cause chemoresistance. The efficacy of anti-P1GF suggests that this may be a future antineoplastic. Farnesylthiosalicylic acid is RAS competitor. HCC mouse model is used to evaluate anti-P1GF and farnesylthiosalicylic acid on hypoxia, ER stress and chemoresistance.
