Introduction: Liver cancer, particularly Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), remains a significant global health concern due to its high prevalence and heterogeneous nature. Despite the existence of approved drugs for HCC treatment, the scarcity of predictive biomarkers limits their effective utilization. Integrating diverse data types to revolutionize drug response prediction, ultimately enabling personalized HCC management.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), a liver condition characterized by metabolic and inflammatory issues, with no current FDA-approved treatments available.
  • Using machine learning, researchers analyzed NASH-induced rat models treated with various therapies to identify genetic and biochemical markers that predict treatment response, achieving up to 98.4% accuracy.
  • Key findings reveal significant molecular features and biochemical markers associated with NASH improvement, emphasizing the potential of machine learning in developing noninvasive diagnostic methods.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third prime cause of malignancy-related mortality worldwide. Early and accurate identification of HCC is crucial for good prognosis, efficacy of therapy, and survival rates of the patients. We aimed to develop a machine-learning model incorporating differentially expressed RNA signatures with laboratory parameters to construct an RNA signature-based diagnostic model for HCC.
