Core Tip
Core Tip: The prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains poor. It is important to identify novel tumor markers for early diagnosis and find more therapeutic targets for effective treatments of HCC. Several diverse long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified to be involved in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related HCC. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying lncRNA-mediated hepatocarcinogenesis may help for their use in early diagnosis and to identify appropriate targets for the prevention and treatment of HBV-related HCC.
