Core Tip	Recent studies have shown that cancer stem and circulating tumor cells contribute to tumor development and progression and can predict patient outcome. Although there are various methods for enumeration of circulating tumor cells, this study demonstrates that flow cytometry is a sensitive, rapid and easy technique that can be used to follow chronic hepatitis C virus patients for early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma. Additionally, telomerase, melanoma antigen encoding gene 3 and cancer stem cell markers (CD90, CD133, CK19) are prognostic indicators in hepatocellular carcinoma patients.
