Core Tip	This review delves into the complexities of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); a highly aggressive form of liver cancer with a low 5-year survival rate and limited treatment options. It examines various factors contributing to HCC, highlights the need for improved early detection using biomarkers and advanced techniques like next-generation sequencing, and emphasizes the importance of understanding the molecular mechanisms involved, particularly the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, to provide evidence for the development of more effective and personalized therapies.
