Role of Coagulation Factors in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Literature Review.

Hepatocyte carcinoma (HCC) is a globally prevalent neoplasm with profound effects on morbidity and mortality rates. This review summarizes the complex interactions between coagulation abnormalities and the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying HCC. Essential coagulation biomarkers, such as P-selectin, thrombomodulin, d-dimer, prothrombin, and von Willebrand factor, are reviewed for their diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic significance. The contribution of these biomarkers to tumor progression, metastatic spread, and patient prognosis is highlighted through a synthesis of contemporary research findings. In addition, this review highlights the underlying mechanisms linking coagulation pathways to HCC pathogenesis and explores potential therapeutic targets. An integrative perspective on the role of coagulation markers in HCC may improve clinical management strategies for patients affected by this malignancy.
