Summary

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a malignant liver tumor with poor prognosis and limited curative treatment options. Early and accurate detection remains an unmet clinical need. The LUMIC study aims to develop a non-invasive liquid biopsy platform based on both exosomal microRNAs (exo-miRNAs) to detect intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with high sensitivity and specificity.
