Background While the majority of studies report that a raised serum α-fetoprotein (AFP) level
before operation is associated with a high risk of recurrence and death in patients who …

AIM: To identify the clinical outcomes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with
inconsistent α-fetoprotein (AFP) levels which were initially high and then low at recurrence …

Background Serum α-fetoprotein concentration (AFP) might be a useful addition to
morphologic criteria for selecting patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) for liver …

AIM: To explore the prognostic value in the monitoring of treatment efficacy of serial α-
fetoprotein (AFP) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. METHODS: We searched …

Abstract Background/Aim: Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) had been used as a prognostic factor in
hepatocellular carcinoma but it was unknown what level of AFP could predict the survival of …

Abstract Background Hepatitis B (HBV)-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is often
associated with alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) production. Although serum AFP has been …

Simple Summary The tumor burden score (TBS) is calculated using the Pythagorean
theorem based on the largest tumor size and tumor number (α2+ β2= γ2, where α is the …

Objective To investigate the impact of serum α-fetoprotein (AFP) level on survival and short-
term recurrence after R0 resection in primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods The …

To validate a previously reported alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) model (including three variables:
preoperative image-diagnosed tumor number and size and AFP level) for the prediction of …

Purpose This study aimed to assess the prognostic significance of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)
response in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (u-HCC) who underwent …
