Liver cancer is a frequent disease. Patients with liver cancer have most of the time an underlying chronic liver disease, often without knowing it since the liver is an organ which does not trigger pain. However, it is possible to cure patients from their liver cancer when the diagnosis is done at an early stage. Therefore diagnostic tools for detecting liver cancer are of utmost importance.
