A Next-Generation Sequencing-Based Platform for Quantitative Detection of Hepatitis B Virus Pre-S Mutants in Plasma of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients

Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Early diagnosis and treatment of HCC remain a key goal for improving patient survival. Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major risk factor for HCC development. Pre-S mutants harboring deletions...
