Core Tip
Core Tip: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a predominant liver cancer subtype, exhibits a high mortality rate mainly due to difficulties in early detection and rapid disease advancement. Glucose transporter proteins, essential for glucose uptake, significantly influence HCC progression and are pivotal in glucose metabolism and tumor development.
