This prospective observational case-control study evaluates the InstaSure™ Non-Invasive Finger-Press Test for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The study plans to enroll 40 participants, including 30 patients with HCC, 5 patients with benign liver disease, and 5 healthy controls. Finger-tip skin cell samples will be collected non-invasively and tested for HCC-associated CCND1 and CDKN2A/P16 eccDNA signals. The primary objective is to preliminarily evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the test in distinguishing patients with HCC from non-HCC controls. The study will also assess the feasibility of the testing procedure and explore the association between eccDNA signals and clinical characteristics of HCC, providing preliminary data for subsequent larger-scale clinical studies.
