Abstract:
The expression of the CD40 receptor in different tumours suggests that it might be involved in tumour development and proliferation. In this article, we discuss recent findings on CD40 expression in hepatocellular carcinoma, its possible biological role for tumour development, and different experimental therapeutic strategies such as gene therapy and immunotherapy protocols.
