Heat Shock Protein-27 and MiR-17-5p are Novel Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarkers for Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Egyptian Patients.
Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents the fourth common cause of cancer related death worldwide. HCC prognosis is still miserable due to its late diagnosis and limited treatment strategies, especially in cases with underlying chronic liver diseases as liver cirrhosis (LC).
Objective
To check the utility of Hsp27and miR-17-5p expression as early non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers for HCC on top of liver cirrhosis and their association with clinico-pathological parameters
Keywords
