Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with its high mortality and short survival rate, continues to be one of the deadliest malignancies despite relentless efforts and several technological advances. The poor prognosis of HCC and the few available treatments are to blame for the low survival rate, which emphasizes the importance of creating new, effective diagnostic markers and innovative therapy strategies. In-depth research is being done on the potent biomarker miRNAs, a special class of non-coding RNA and has shown encouraging results in the early identification and treatment of HCC in order to find more viable and successful therapeutics for the disease.

The high ratio of global mortality rate to incidence rate and steep increase in incidence of liver cancer warrants need for advancement of innovative cancer treatment and therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). miRNAs are fascinating prospects as treatments in the form of miRNA mimics or therapeutic targets because of their capacity to target various mRNAs that are changed in diseased states. Micronome is a tool to find signature miRNA for any disease and there is hardly any study on micronome in HCC.
