TL;DR

This work has shown that novel molecular markers with improved sensitivity, specificity, and therapeutic relevance are essential for enhancing early detection and guiding personalized treatment strategies in HCC.

Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver malignancy and remains a major cause of cancer‐related mortality worldwide. Its poor clinical outcomes are largely attributed to late‐stage diagnosis and the limited accuracy of currently available diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. Therefore, identifying novel molecular markers with improved sensitivity, specificity, and therapeutic relevance is essential for enhancing early detection and guiding personalized treatment strategies.

Identification of lncRNAs in Breast Cancer Through Bioinformatics Analysis: Implications for Pathogenesis and Prognostic Significance

Breast cancer (BC) is a disease with a subtle onset, often diagnosed late, and has a high mortality rate. This study aimed to identify long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) linked to BC as prognostic markers using bioinformatics and initial experiments, explore their regulatory pathways, and assess their expression and progno...

Serum SAMD9 as a Potential Prognostic Biomarker for Pancreatic Cancer

Simple Summary Pancreatic cancer remains one of the deadliest malignancies, and effective biomarkers for its detection and prognosis are still lacking. In this study, SAMD9 was consistently overexpressed in pancreatic cancer tissues and was associated with poor patient outcomes. Analyses of public datasets showed that...
