Detection of Circulating Tumor Cells and Their Implications as a Biomarker for Diagnosis, Prognostication, and Therapeutic Monitoring in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Joseph C. Ahn, Pai‐Chi Teng, Pin‐Jung Chen, Edwin Posadas, Hsian‐Rong Tseng, Shelly C. Lu, Ju Dong Yang – 4 February 2020 – Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is among the leading causes of worldwide cancer‐related morbidity and mortality.
