Article Synopsis
- * Early detection is crucial but challenging because symptoms can be minimal or non-specific, and traditional screening methods like imaging and biopsy have limitations in accuracy, cost, and invasiveness.
- * Innovative biosensors are emerging as a rapid, cost-effective, and less invasive alternative for detecting HCC by identifying various biomarkers, showing promise for improved early diagnosis compared to conventional methods.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is currently one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide. Associated risk factors include, but are not limited to, cirrhosis and underlying liver diseases, including chronic hepatitis B or C infections, excessive alcohol consumption, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and exposure to chemical carcinogens.
