Correlation analysis revealed a significant association only between the HCCscreen score and the methylation score.ConclusionsThe multi-omics approach of HCCscreen significantly enhances early HCC detection in patients with hepatic cirrhosis compared to both its individual components and the current standard of US + AFP. Its robust and consistent performance across patient demographics underscores its potential as a superior tool for population-wide early HCC screening.
Furthermore, it may efficaciously detect liver cancer and precancerous diseases, with superior performance to AFP and AFP+ultrasound. Hence, HCCscreen has the potential to become an effective screening tool that is superior to existing screening methods for high-risk liver cancer populations.
M2P-HCC liquid biopsy demonstrated good performance for early liver cancer screening in high-risk populations of Hepatitis B-related liver cancer, exhibiting better sensitivity than the combination of AFP and US.
