fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma
FHCC

There is recent and growing interest in fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma.

Further analyses of fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma tissues show an increase in protein levels of this DNAJ-PKAc fusion protein.

Rarely, these lesions may be multiple or can occur as part of a syndrome with hemangiomas, epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, hepatic adenomas, fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma, vascular malformations of the brain, meningiomas, and/or astrocytomas.

Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FHCC) is a rare form of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that typically affects young adults and is characterized, under the microscope, by laminated fibrous layers interspersed between the tumour cells.

Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma, a subtype of hepatocellular carcinoma that is unrelated to cirrhosis, hepatitis B virus (HBV), or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, generally occurs in adolescents and young adults, but has been reported in infants.

FHCC has a high resectability rate, i.e. it can often be surgically removed.

However, FHCC is associated with elevated neurotensin levels.

The histopathology of FHCC is characterized by laminated fibrous layers, interspersed between the tumor cells.

Compared to conventional HCC, FHCC grows slowly and has better prognosis, probably owing to its high resectability.

In June 2001, DFO and Newfoundland Power recognized that the FHCC was not operating effectively and therefore would require additional works.

This was accomplished by constructing a Fish Habitat Compensation Channel (FHCC) in the same watershed near the primary outflow of Moose Pond.

In FHCC, plasma neurotensin and serum vitamin B12 binding globulin are commonly increased and are useful in monitoring the disease and detecting recurrence.

The compensation activities involved the creation of spawning and rearing habitat for Brook trout through the construction of a Fish Habitat Compensation Channel (FHCC) near the primary outflow of Moose Pond.
