This paper provides a review of the known genetic diagnostic indicators of liver cancer. The correlation between the genetic diagnosis and clinical outcome in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been widely reported, based on the detection of liver-specific mRNA or tumor DNA in the blood.
