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 …

Background We evaluated treatment modalities and survival in patients with hepatocellular
carcinoma (HCC), by pre-treatment and 3-month post-treatment serum alpha-fetoprotein …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can result from hepatitis C virus
(HCV)-related liver disease and is the fastest-growing cause of cancer-related death in the …

AIM: To identify the role of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) mRNA expression in peripheral blood
one week after surgery as a predictor for recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) …

AIM To investigate the impact of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) on long-term recurrence rate and
overall survival and we also aimed to define the level of AFP leading to a higher risk of …

AIM: To clarify the utility of using des-γ-carboxy prothrombin (DCP) and α-fetoprotein (AFP)
levels to predict the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with hepatitis B …

Purpose Intra-and extrahepatic recurrence is common, even after curative resection for
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), suggesting preoperative or intraoperative tumor cell …

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

Liver transplantation (LT) for cirrhotic/Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is associated with
reduced survival in patients with poor histological features. Preoperative levels of …

Alpha‐fetoprotein (AFP) and des‐γ‐carboxy prothrombin (DCP) are widely used
complementary tumor markers for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we …
