Liver Cancer Blood Test for Patients

The Liver Cancer Fusion Predictor makes liver cancer screening more convenient with at-home blood collection by a trained phlebotomist and a secure digital report.

Are You at Risk?

Liver Cancer Risk Factors

Certain liver conditions and other health factors can increase the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). If you have one or more of these risk factors, consider regular liver cancer screening and discuss your screening plan with your healthcare provider.

Hepatitis B or C

Chronic viral hepatitis is a leading cause of liver cancer globally. Hepatitis B can lead to HCC even without cirrhosis, while HCC risk in hepatitis C is particularly increased with advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis. If you have chronic hepatitis B or C, consider the Liver Cancer Fusion Predictor as your blood-based test for HCC screening.

Alcohol-Related Liver Disease

Long-term heavy alcohol use can lead to cirrhosis, which significantly raises the risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma even after stopping drinking. Long-term heavy alcohol use—even if you stopped drinking years ago—can significantly increase the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). If you have a history of long-term heavy alcohol use, consider the Liver Cancer Fusion Predictor as your blood-based test for HCC screening.

Fatty Liver Disease (MASLD)

Fatty liver disease is increasingly associated with liver cancer, particularly when it progresses to inflammation, fibrosis, or cirrhosis. If you have MASLD (formerly NAFLD), especially with obesity or type 2 diabetes, consider the Liver Cancer Fusion Predictor as your blood-based test for HCC screening.

Cirrhosis

Cirrhosis from any cause substantially increases the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). If you have cirrhosis, regular HCC surveillance is important. Consider the Liver Cancer Fusion Predictor as your blood-based test for HCC screening every 6 months.

Family History

Having a close family member with liver cancer may increase your risk, particularly when combined with hepatitis B or other liver disease. If liver cancer runs in your family, consider the Liver Cancer Fusion Predictor as your blood-based test for HCC screening.

Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome

Type 2 diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome are associated with an increased risk of liver cancer, especially when fatty liver disease is also present. If you have these metabolic risk factors, consider the Liver Cancer Fusion Predictor as your blood-based test for HCC screening.

The Experience

What to Expect on Test Day

Before Your Appointment

After you order the test, MoleculeDx ships a blood collection kit to your home. The kit contains the materials needed for your blood draw and sample shipment. A trained phlebotomist will come to your home to collect the blood using the MoleculeDx kit. No fasting is required.

The Home Visit

A trained phlebotomist comes to your home and draws your blood using the collection materials provided in the MoleculeDx kit. The blood draw typically takes only 5–10 minutes, similar to a routine blood test. After collection, the phlebotomist prepares and ships the sample to the MoleculeDx laboratory for analysis.

Your Sample

After your blood is collected, the phlebotomist packages the sample using the materials provided in the MoleculeDx kit and ships it to the MoleculeDx laboratory for analysis. Sample handling and shipping procedures are designed to preserve the integrity of the specimen during transport.

Your Results

Within 24 hours after your sample is received by the MoleculeDx laboratory, you will receive a secure digital report showing whether your Liver Cancer Fusion Predictor result is positive or negative. The report is reviewed by a pathologist. If your result is positive, follow up with your healthcare provider for appropriate clinical evaluation and diagnostic imaging.
