The importance of methylation in circulating DNA has been recognized in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the DNA methylation-based approach shows potential for noninvasive and early diagnosis of HCC. In this study, LAM identified and validated HCC-specific methylation markers for detection of the disease with high sensitivity and specificity.
