Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC or liver cancer) is emerging as the most common cancer with a conspicuous rate of mortality worldwide. The survival rate of liver cancer patients is as less as 6 months with a maximum of 2 years. Though there are various factors that cause the liver cancer, alcohol consumption and infection of hepatitis B and C are considered to be the most influential factors that contribute to the development of liver cancer.
NGS based 22-gene panel helps in molecular profiling of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) tumors from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples.
