摘要
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common types of malignant tumor. It is usually asymptomatic in the early stages and tends to be intravascularly and intrabiliary invasive. Therefore, most patients present with incurable disease at the time of detection and early diagnosis of HCC is critical for a good prognosis.
