Core Tip This editorial emphasizes the pivotal role of telomere biology in hepatocellular carcinoma, spanning fundamental molecular mechanisms and their clinical implications. It outlines the diagnostic and prognostic value of non-invasive liquid biopsy approaches based on telomere length assessment and TERT mutation analysis. Further, the editorial discusses emerging therapeutic strategies, particularly telomerase-targeted immunotherapies, underscoring their potential to advance precision oncology in hepatocellular carcinoma and other malignancies.
