Zusammenfassung
Introduction. Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common tumor worldwide with increasing incidence. Screening and diagnosis depend on ultrasound and the biomarker Alphafetopreotein (AFP), but AFP has a low sensitivity. Aim. The aims of this study were to determine (i) the sensitivity and specificity of AFP, Desgamma-Carboxy-Prothrombin (DCP), and Lens-cullinaris-Antigen (AFP-L3%) within a northern European cohort, (ii) whether the sensitivity could be increased in combined measurement and (iii) whether other factors alter these results.Materials and Methods. We performed a single-center, prospective…
