Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticle-Based Imaging Agents for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Detection

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is characterized by poor prognosis and high mortality. The treatment of HCC is closely related to the stage, and the early-stage of HCC patients usually accompanies a more long-term survival rate after clinical treatment. Hence, there are critical needs to develop effe...
