METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR DIAGNOSING HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). SOLUTION: Improved assay methods and scanning methods are included that employ non-cell-associated and cell-associated HCC related proteins. Such methods are based upon the discovery of genes that were up-regulated in diseased versus normal tissue as well as in HCC tissue when compared to the tissue of patients with other ailments.
