Core Tip	Lipoma HMGIC fusion partner-like 2 overexpression contributes to transarterial chemoembolization resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma patients and predicts unfavorable outcomes. The combination of lipoma HMGIC fusion partner-like and alpha-fetoprotein levels allows for improved prognostic assessment, offering a potential molecular marker for individualized treatment planning and early identification of transarterial chemoembolization non-responders (No. AF-SW-07-02.1).
