Abstract

The tumorigenesis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) has been identified to be exceptionally involved in dysregulated Hippo/Yes-associated protein (YAP) signaling pathway (Hippo/YAP). Hippo/YAP functions as a master regulator engaged in a plethora of physiological and oncogenic processes as well. Therefore, the aberrant Hippo/YAP could serve as an Achilles' heel regarding the molecular therapeutic avenues for ICC patients. Herein, we comprehensively review the recent studies about the underlying mechanism of disrupted Hippo/YAP in ICC, how diagnostic values could be utilized upon the critical genes in this pathway, and what opportunities could be given upon this target pathway.
