Background and study aims The relationship between the alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level and
the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after surgical resection remains unknown …

AIM To investigate whether the change in pre-/post-operation serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)
levels is a predictive factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) outcomes. METHODS We …

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 …

Background The value of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) as a prognostic indicator in patients with
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been proposed in recent studies, but the evidence so …

Background To investigate the prediction value of preoperative serum alpha-fetoprotein
(AFP) level for the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), by comparing pathological …

Aim It has been highly controversial whether elevated serum α‐fetoprotein (AFP) level
before hepatectomy predicts recurrence and mortality of patients with hepatocellular …

Background The clinical value of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in patients with AFP-negative (< 20
ng/ml) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who underwent curative resection remained …

Background Serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is frequently used to predict posthepatectomy
outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but its predictive value is still not …

Background. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)
ratio on the prognosis of AFP-positive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients after …

Objectives: To investigate the prognosis significance of preoperative serum alpha-
fetoprotein (AFP) and the correlation with clinicopathological factors of hepatocellular …
