Summary

Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer world-wide. It is particularly prevalent in Asia, and its occurrence is highest in areas where hepatitis B is prevalent, indicating a possible causal relationship. Follow up of high-risk populations such as chronic hepatitis patients and early diagnosis of transitions from chronic hepatitis to HCC would improve cure rates. In most cases HCC is detected late resulting in increased mortality and morbidity. The purpose of this study is to develop and test non-invasive biomarkers based on methylation changes in PBMC and circulated tumor DNA in hepatocellular carcinomas patients.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Other cancers.

Exclusion Criteria for HepB:

  • Diagnosis of HCC or any other cancer.

Exclusion Criteria for Healthy Controls:

  • Any known inflammatory or infectious disease including HepB and HepC
  • Chronic diseases,
  • Cancer
  • Medications or drug use
