Core Tip

Core Tip: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), ranking as the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally, is characterized by high rates of recurrence and metastasis. Long non-coding RNAs related to genomic instability emerge as promising biomarkers for HCC prognosis. Here, we discuss their clinical significance as prognostic models and offer insights into ongoing efforts to develop diverse models, with an aim to enhance the scope of research on HCC prognosis and diagnosis.
