In the recently published multi-center, prospective, single-blind study (THUNDER study), using the methylation signal in cfDNA isolated from the peripheral blood to detect the six types of cancer, the sensitivity for liver cancer detection achieved 87.8%, with a specificity of 98.9%. In this study, a multicenter, case-control study is designed to establish an early cancer detection model based on cfDNA methylation biomarkers using qPCR to detect primary liver cancer and further validate the performance of the model.
