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 multi-omics-based liquid biopsy assay, especially focusing on ncRNAs (e.g. tsRNA, miRNA, circRNA, lncRNA, etc.) for accurate detection of early-stage HCC.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18 to 100 years. * A histologically confirmed diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. * A clinically diagnosed as chronic liver disease, including chronic hepatitis or liver cirrhosis, without evidence of hepatocellular carcinoma. * Healthy volunteers without known liver disease or malignancy. * Received standard diagnostic and staging procedures as per local guidelines * Availability of blood or other biospecimens. * Ability to provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Lack of or inability to provide informed consent * History of other active malignancies within the past 5 years * Previous liver transplantation * Severe systemic infection or inflammatory disease at the time of enrollment * Inadequate sample quality or quantity
