Abstract excerpt
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is among the most common and lethal human cancers worldwide. Despite curative resection, high recurrence of HCC remains a big threat, leading to poor patient outcomes. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) pre-S mutants, which harbor deletions over pre-S1 and pre-S2 gene segments of large surface proteins, have been implicated in HCC recurrence. Therefore, a reliable approach for detection of...
