Liquid Biopsy of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Circulating Tumor-Derived Biomarkers

Figure 1

Liquid biopsy of hepatocellular carcinoma: circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cell-free tumor-associated DNA or miRNAs (cfNAs) are easily accessible in peripheral blood of patients. Analysis of these cells or molecules can be used for early tumor detection and provide prognostic information for HCC patients.
