Scientists have found new genetic indicators associated with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, the most common form of liver cancer) as well as worse outcomes among those with the disease. With more research, investigators could establish expression of the genes in question as biomarkers that could be used to help detect liver cancer early and provide more effective treatment.

“We know that 90 percent of all hepatocellular carcinoma cases start with liver cirrhosis,” study author Salvatore Papa, PhD, of the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom said in a press release. “So by pinpointing when cirrhosis progresses to cancer, we could improve early detection and treatment—with surgery, chemo and radiotherapy, but perhaps also with new treatments which reverse the transition.”
