Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignant tumor unresponsive to most current therapies. Small peptides, either synthetic or derived from natural proteins, are found promising in treating HCC. Herein, different types of small peptides and their associated mechanistic actions against tumors are discussed, postulating their use as alternative treatments for HCC.
