Core Tip

Core Tip: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Despite recent improvements in diagnostic approaches and surgical techniques, the five-year survival rate for patients with advanced HCC remains low, largely due to the absence of early clinical symptoms and the lack of reliable diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. Over the past decade, aldo-keto reductase family 1 member 10 has emerged as a potential biomarker for both the diagnosis and prognosis of HCC. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between serum aldo-keto reductase family 1 member 10 levels and prognosis in patients with HCC, evaluate its clinical value as a prognostic indicator, and provide a theoretical basis and research direction for individualized treatment strategies.
