Identification of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Biomarkers Using Machine Learning Techniques
摘要
Liver cancer, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is a major global health concern with constant increase in rates of mortality. Early diagnosis and prognosis are crucial for effective treatment and improved patient outcomes. This study aims to identify biomarkers for liver cancer using gene expression data to facilitate early diagnosis and prognosis of the disease. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of gene expression profiles from HCC patients and healthy individuals to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with liver cancer. Machine learning algorithms, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naïve Bayes, Logistic Regression, Random Forest, and Decision Tree were employed to prioritize potential biomarkers based on their diagnostic and prognostic significance. Our results reveal a panel of DEGs with promising potential as biomarkers for early identification and prognosis of liver cancer. Further validation of these biomarkers in clinical settings could lead to the development of novel diagnosis and prognosis tools for liver cancer, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes.
