Further, as shown in Figure 5, the ddPCR determination of TERC in plasma revealed a significantly higher level in HCC patients vs. control subjects (2.118 vs. 0.826 copies/μL, p-value = 0.0019); and the ROC analysis gave an AUC value = 0.8120 with a p-value = 0.0002. This evidence concerns the gene TERC and hepatocellular carcinoma.
