Research advances in tumor markers of hepatocellular carcinoma / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

At present, tumor marker measurement is one of the most important methods for the diagnosis and monitoring of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and prognostic evaluation. This review summarizes the value of tumor markers in the diagnosis of HCC, prediction of biological characteristics, and prognostic evaluation, as well as the diagnostic value of a combination of various tumor markers. With new tumor markers being discovered, the rate of early diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of HCC will be improved.
