Overview
Future directions
Current research includes the search for the genes that are disregulated in HCC,[1] protein markers[2], and other predictive biomarkers.[3][4] As similar research is yielding results in various other malignant diseases, it is hoped that identifying the aberrant genes and the resultant proteins could lead to the identification of pharmacological interventions for HCC.[5]
