AFP and hepatocellular carcinoma: More and more studies showed that serum lncRNAs, such as ENSG00000258332.1, LINC00635, small nucleolar RNA host gene (SNHG)1, lncRNA uc007biz.1 (LRB1), highly up-regulated in liver cancer (HULC), linc00152, and urothelial cancer associated (UCA) 1 , are potential biomarkers for early diagnosis of HCC, meanwhile, combined detection of the serum levels of these lncRNAs with serum levels of AFP showed highest sensitivity and accuracy for early diagnosis of HCC 78-82.
