Global gene expression profiling of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a promising new technology that has already refined the diagnosis and prognostic predictions of HCC patients. This has been accomplished by identifying genes whose expression pattern is associated with clinicopathological features of HCC tumors. Molecular characterization of HCC from gene expression profiling studies will undoubtedly improve the prediction of treatment responses, selection of treatments for specific molecular subtypes of HCC and ultimately the clinical outcome of HCC patients. The research focus is now shifting toward the identification of genetic determinants that are components of the specific regulatory pathways altered in cancers, and that may constitute novel therapeutic targets. Here we review the recent advances in gene expression profiling of HCC and discuss the future strategies for analysing large and complicated data sets from microarray studies and how to integrate these with diverse genomic data.
