Study Summary

The study will examine and evaluate the use of extracellular RNA in blood as markers for the diagnosis of liver disease or cancer, and as markers for prediction of response to treatment or recurrence of cancer after surgery

Primary Outcome

The exRNA biomarker levels in the HCC and biliary tract cancer groups will be evaluated and compared to the exRNA biomarker levels present in the other groups, cirrhosis and chronic liver disease. Statistical analysis will be used to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of these markers for the diagnosis of cancers based on findings of liver mass, imaging characteristics, size, and extent of viable tumor on imaging, or on elevated levels of tumor markers such as alpha-fetoprotein.
