Background & Aims: Measurements of α-fetoprotein (AFP) detect hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)

Background & Aims: Measurements of α-fetoprotein (AFP) detect hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with low levels of sensitivity and specificity and are therefore not recommended for use in liver cancer surveillance. test results). We assessed overall accuracy of these factors in detecting HCC using receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and the Delong method. We calculated levels… Continue reading Background & Aims: Measurements of α-fetoprotein (AFP) detect hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
