Abstract
Cirrhotic liver nodules can progress to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through a multi-step carcinogenesis model, with dysplastic nodules being particularly high risk. Currently, monitoring the progression of non-HCC cirrhotic nodules is primarily through dynamic observation, but there is a lack of sensitive, efficient, and convenient methods. Dynamic monitoring and risk evaluation of malignant transformation are essential for timely treatment and improved patient survival rates. Routine liver biopsies are impractical for monitoring, and imaging techniques like ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are not suitable for all patients or for accurately assessing subcentimeter nodules. Identifying serum biomarkers with high sensitivity, specificity, and stability, and developing a multi-index evaluation model, may provide a more convenient and efficient approach to monitoring pathological changes in cirrhotic nodules.
