Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) stands third among cancer-related deaths globally. Owing to its high incidence and linked mortality, early diagnosis is alarming for patient survival and the management of patients with developing HCC requires immediate attention. Advances in the knowledge of cancer biology and recognizing unique molecular candidates, including genomic and proteomic profiles, substantiate our understanding about several biological signatures connected with HCC. Precise identification and differential diagnosis of early HCC can remarkably improve patient survival. Currently, detection of HCC in clinical practice is performed by diagnostic imaging and noninvasive methods such as evaluation of serum biomarkers, growth factors, and the like. In this review, we discuss recent developments in targeting biomarkers for HCC.
