BACKGROUND: Although serum level of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) has long been used to
complement imaging tests in the screening and diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma …

Background. The significance of α-fetoprotein (AFP) messenger RNA as a surrogate marker

Objective To determine whether serum prealbumin levels are associated with long‐term
survival after hepatectomy in patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) …

Materials and methods There were 13 patients (5.6 per cent) with early recurrence within six
months after hepatectomy. Results Preoperative serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels were …

Background/Aims: Since hematogenous spread of tumor cells may adversely affect the
prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, we prospectively analyzed whether the …

important factors linked with post-operative tumor recurrence in hepatocellular carcinoma …

The effects of serum hepatitis B e antigen (HB eAg) on the prognosis of hepatocellular
carcinoma (HCC) patients after hepatectomy remain controversial. Our aim was to explore …

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is the main tumor biomarker available for the management of
