Background/Aims: Blood concentration levels of alpha-fetoprotein like the Lens culinaris
agglutinin-reactive fraction (AFP-L3) are a useful marker for predicting the long-term …

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 …

The clinical significance of serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was studied in 114 patients with
liver cirrhosis, who were followed for more than one year. Out of 114 patients, serum HBs …

α‐Fetoprotein (AFP) is considered to be a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the role of AFP in the development of HCC is …

The presence of specific gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase isoenzyme (γ-GTPI) and variant
alkaline phosphatase (VAALP) were concurrently determined, and levels of basic fetoprotein …

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level was measured in five cases of hepatoma before and after
hepatic lobectomy in order to determine if changes in AFP level were indicative of tumor …

Abstract Background and Aim: The Lens culinaris agglutinin‐reactive fraction of α‐
fetoprotein (AFP‐L3) has been reported to be a highly useful marker for hepatocellular …

α-Fetoprotein (AFP) was measured in the sera of 62 patients from the United States and 58
foreign patients with hepatoma. AFP was detected in 50.5% of these patients by double …

KAZUHISA TAKETA in Hepatology a-Fetoprotein (AFP) is a fetal serum protein (1, 2), and its
reappearance in mice with hepatoma was demonstrated by Abelev et al.(3) in 1963 and in …

Awareness of early spread of hepatocellular carcinoma is crucial in selecting patients for
surgical intervention. α‐Fetoprotein is widely used as a serum marker for hepatocellular …
