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

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

Background: Mixed evidence challenges preoperative alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) as an
independent prognostic factor for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after …

Background and Aims The prognostic ability of α-fetoprotein (AFP) for patients with
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was examined by using different cutoff values. The optimal …

Abstract α-fetoprotein (AFP) messenger RNA (mRNA) has been proposed as a marker of
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells disseminated into the circulation, but its clinical …

Hypothesis Isolated tumor cells may be associated with micrometastasis. Circulating α-
fetoprotein messenger RNA (AFP mRNA) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) …

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 …

Background To assess preoperative image tumor characteristics and alpha-fetoprotein
(AFP) levels to predict early recurrence after liver resection (LR) for hepatocellular …

Purpose Intrahepatic recurrence has a significant effect on the survival of hepatocellular
carcinoma (HCC) patients. We aimed to determine if there are useful indicators in predicting …

Background The aim of this study was to determine the role of Lens culinaris agglutinin-
reactive fraction of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP-L3) as a prognostic marker and a monitor marker …
