Core Tip	Glypican-3 is frequently overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Accumulating evidence indicates that high glypican-3 expression is a significant prognostic factor that predicts poor outcome of patients with HCC. Thus, it serves as a promising molecular target for the development of novel therapies for HCC, and preclinical and clinical trials targeting glypican-3 are currently underway. Evaluation of the glypican-3 levels in HCC tissues or in sera of patients with HCC would be of value for predicting the patients’ prognosis and companion diagnostics for future glypican-3-targeting therapies.
