Galen Miller‐Atkins, Lou‐Anne Acevedo‐Moreno, David Grove, Raed A. Dweik, Adriano R. Tonelli, J. Mark Brown, Daniela S. Allende, Federico Aucejo, Daniel M. Rotroff – 26 April 2020 – Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and secondary liver tumors, such as colorectal cancer liver metastases are significant contributors to the overall burden of cancer‐related morality. Current biomarkers, such as alpha‐fetoprotein (AFP) for HCC, result in too many false negatives, necessitating noninvasive approaches with improved sensitivity.
