The five-year survival rate of liver cancer is low, 14% according to the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program database of the National Cancer Institute from 2003 to 2007 [3]. Since in the early stages of liver cancer, patients usually do not show signs or symptoms, improving early diagnosis is essential in order to reduce morbidity and mortality rates.
