Awareness
The Jade Ribbon Campaign is used for awareness of liver cancer in the Pacific Islands and will be introduced into America someday.
Jade is the official color of liver cancer.
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]
