| Core Tip |
Early, accurate, and non-invasive diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a major clinical challenge, particularly in Egypt, where hepatitis C virus-related cirrhosis is prevalent. This study introduces a novel dual-parameter liquid biopsy combining plasma miR-21-5p (a tumor-derived oncomiR) and T-cell leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor-1 MFI (an immune-checkpoint marker). In a prospective Egyptian cohort, this approach achieved exceptional diagnostic accuracy (area under the curve > 0.99) and maintained high sensitivity in early-stage and α-fetoprotein-negative HCC. The findings propose an integrated molecular-immune diagnostic pathway that could substantially improve HCC surveillance and early detection in high-risk populations. |
