Evaluation of miRNA-7, miRNA-10 and miRNA-21 as diagnostic non-invasive biomarkers of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Aim Of The Study: Liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma - HCC) remains a serious health challenge; it is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide. Egypt ranks fifteenth worldwide and the third in Africa in terms of HCC burden. The present study aimed to assess some microRNAs (miRNAs) including miRNA-7, miRNA-10, and miRNA-21, serum markers such as cluster of differentiation-14 (CD-14) and transforming growth factor b1 (TGF-b1), and other biochemical parameters as non-invasive tools for HCC diagnosis.
