Postoperative histopathology is subject to sampling bias and time delays, while traditional imaging techniques lack the molecular specificity required to predict MVI. Liquid biopsy, through the analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), circulating tumor cells (CTCs), circulating tumor RNA (ctRNA), and extracellular vesicles (EVs), provides a minimally invasive approach for capturing tumor-derived molecular and cellular signals associated with vascular invasion. This narrative review comprehensively summarizes the current evidence linking these four liquid biopsy analyte categories to MVI in HCC, evaluates their integration into multi-omics predictive models, including multi-marker, clinicopathological-integrated, and imaging-integrated strategies, and proposes an evidence-level framework that categorizes blood biomarkers according to the strength of their support for MVI prediction, distinguishing direct histopathological validation from indirect associations with aggressive tumor biology. Key challenges are critically examined, including the variable specificity of individual biomarkers for MVI, the lack of head-to-head comparative studies, the absence of standardized pre-analytical and analytical protocols, and the methodological limitations of current prediction models. As a narrative review, this work does not employ systematic review methodology, and the evidence synthesis should be interpreted accordingly. The review provides a framework for understanding how liquid biopsy-based MVI risk stratification may inform surgical and perioperative decision-making following prospective validation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics16172686","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,24]],"date-time":"2026-08-24T09:20:02Z","timestamp":1787563202000},"page":"2686","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Non-Invasive Assessment of Microvascular Invasion Risk in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using Liquid Biopsy: Translational Insights and Clinical Implications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Dengyuan","family":"Xue","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Medicine, Zhejiang University School of Medicine Second Affiliated Hospital, Hangzhou 310009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinyu","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Medicine, Zhejiang University School of Medicine Second Affiliated Hospital, Hangzhou 310009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qixingmao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Medicine, Zhejiang University School of Medicine Second Affiliated Hospital, Hangzhou 310009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hongxin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Medicine, Zhejiang University School of Medicine Second Affiliated Hospital, Hangzhou 310009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mengli","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Medicine, Zhejiang University School of Medicine Second Affiliated Hospital, Hangzhou 310009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiuzhi","family":"Duan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Medicine, Zhejiang University School of Medicine Second Affiliated Hospital, Hangzhou 310009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0211-2781","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xuchu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Medicine, Zhejiang University School of Medicine Second Affiliated Hospital, Hangzhou 310009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pan","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Medicine, Zhejiang University School of Medicine Second Affiliated Hospital, Hangzhou 310009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhihua","family":"Tao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Medicine, Zhejiang University School of Medicine Second Affiliated Hospital, Hangzhou 310009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-9778-4602","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaoxue","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Medicine, Zhejiang University School of Medicine Second Affiliated Hospital, Hangzhou 310009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2334","DOI":"10.1097\/CM9.0000000000003264","article-title":"Global Epidemiology of Liver Cancer 2022: An Emphasis on Geographic Disparities","volume":"137","author":"Li","year":"2024","journal-title":"Chin.
