Brief Summary

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is often diagnosed at an advanced stage, and early detection is critical for improving patient outcomes. Despite this, reliable non-invasive biomarkers for early-stage HCC are limited. This study seeks to develop a cell-free tsRNA (cf-tsRNA)-based liquid biopsy assay for accurate detection of early-stage HCC.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * A histologically confirmed diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. * Received standard diagnostic and staging procedures as per local guidelines * Availability of at least one blood-derived sample, drawn before receiving any curative-intent treatment Exclusion Criteria: • Lack of or inability to provide informed consent
