Abstract

BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) poses a significant health challenge worldwide, primarily due to late-stage diagnosis and the limited effectiveness of current therapies. Cancer stem cells are known to play a role in tumor development, metastasis, and resistance to treatment. A thorough understanding of genes associated with stem cells is crucial for improving the diagnostic precision of LIHC and for the advancement of effective immunotherapy approaches.
