  • Publication number: 20150147761
    Abstract: The invention relates to specific marker proteins (biomarkers) for Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The invention relates to a method for the diagnostic study of biological samples of a human for Hepatocellular carcinoma, the sample being studied for one or more proteins as a marker for Hepatocellular carcinoma, a concentration of the proteins which is elevated or decreased in relation to the healthy state indicating the presence of Hepatocellular carcinoma, a diagnostic test kit and a method of screening compounds effective in HCC.
