Article Abstract

Biosensors have become a very interesting field in recent years, thanks to their potential to be converted into self-diagnostic technologies. Being able to analyze a biomarker with different biosensor systems has great potential. This potential is important in terms of time, cost, and practicality with its use in the analysis of difficult-to-diagnose diseases in clinical studies. In this review, the biosensors used in the determination of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) biomarkers were compiled. Electrochemical, optical, and piezoelectric biosensors used in the analysis of proteins, DNA, RNA, and cells with varying concentrations in HCC can be designed based on antibodies, nanocomposites, DNA, and aptamers.

Liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) is a highly heterogeneous disease, necessitating the discovery of novel biomarkers to enhance individualized treatment approaches. Recent research has shown the significant involvement of ubiquitin-related genes (UbRGs) in the progression of LIHC. However, the prognostic value of UbRGs in LIHC has not been investigated.

Background: Nucleolar protein 7 (NOL7), a specific protein found in the nucleolus, is crucial for maintaining cell division and proliferation. While the involvement of NOL7 in influencing the unfavorable prognosis of metastatic melanoma has been reported, its significance in predicting the prognosis of patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear.

Methods: Aberrant expression of NOL7 in HCC and its prognostic value were evaluated using multiple databases, including TCGA, GTEx, Xiantao Academic, HCCDB, UALCAN, TISCH, and STRING.

Background: Malnutrition affects the prognosis and response to treatment in cancer patients. There is no gold standard for nutritional assessment in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to compare Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) and Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) in predicting mortality in HCC patients.

Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery and Liver Transplantation Center, The Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University, 52 Mei Hua East Road, Zhuhai, 519000, China.

Purpose: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the primary stromal component of the tumor microenvironment in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), affecting tumor progression and post-resection recurrence. Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a key biomarker of CAFs. However, there is limited evidence on using FAP as a target in near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging for HCC.
