Category | Inducing factor | Latency | Advantages | Disadvantages | |
Xenograft | Ectopic | Cancer cell line | Several weeks | Fast and easy modeling | Less clinical relevancy |
Orthotopic | Easy detection of tumorigenesis | Only reflect the characteristics of the selected cells | |||
Carcinogen-induced | DEN | 5-10 mo | More clinical relevancy | Lengthy time and high cost to model | |
Genetically engineered | HBV-derived | 12-24 mo | Uncovering the molecular mechanisms of hepatocarcinogenesis | Difficult to detect tumorigenesis | |
HCV-derived | 12-24 mo | Closely mimic the pathophysiological features of human HCC | |||
Oncogene-derived | Several weeks |
