lüll Mouse models in liver cancer research: a review of current literature Leenders MW; Nijkamp MW; Borel Rinkes IHWorld J Gastroenterol 2008[Dec]; 14 (45): 6915-23Primary liver cancer remains one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide. Due to differences in prevalence of etiological factors the incidence of primary liver cancer varies among the world, with a peak in East-Asia. As this disease is still lethal in most of the cases, research has to be done to improve our understanding of the disease, offering insights for possible treatment options. For this purpose, animal models are widely used, especially mouse models. In this review, we describe the different types of mouse models used in liver cancer research, with emphasis on genetically engineered mice used in this field. We focus on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), as this is by far the most common type of primary liver cancer, accounting for 70%-85% of cases.|*Carcinoma, Hepatocellular/chemically induced/genetics/virology[MESH]|*Disease Models, Animal[MESH]|*Liver Neoplasms, Experimental/chemically induced/genetics/virology[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Carcinogens[MESH]|Genetic Engineering[MESH]|Hepacivirus[MESH]|Hepatitis B virus[MESH]|Mice[MESH] |
