The prognosis for HCC is very poor, mainly because early diagnosis was often not feasible. Serum AFP as a diagnostic tool for early HCC has significant limitations. Intestinal microbial variation is closely associated with liver injury and chronic inflammatory, and ultimately promotes HCC development by intestinal microbiota-liver axis. This study was the first to identify intestinal microbial characteristics in clinical HCC patients.
