Abstract
Primary hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most common high-grade malignant tumors in the world. Its incidence ranks fifth among malignant tumors in China, and various therapeutic measures have poor curative effect. Pyruvate kinase type M2 is a key enzyme in the glycolytic pathway, and its abnormal expression in liver cancer is closely related to the proliferation, metastasis, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, as well as drug and radiation resistance. Therefore, multi-pathway targeted regulation of pyruvate kinase type M2 use is expected to become a new direction for the treatment of primary liver cancer.
Key words:
Hepatocellular carcinoma; Pyruvate kinase
