Abstract
The hepatocarcinoma (HCC) is the most important liver tumor. It represents 90% of liver cancer cases. One of the main problems is the limited prompt cancer diagnosis and the advanced stages where the chances of treatment are limited. The main diagnostic methods for HCC are imaging techniques and liver biopsy. With advances in technology, proteins as significant diagnostic biomarkers have increased. The objective of this review is to describe the role of Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), Glipican 3 (GPC-3), and Kininogen 1 (KNG-1) as biomarkers for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. A systematic search of studies was carried out in the literature and the diagnostic values of these proteins were compared. The results showed that the combined use of biomarkers increases the diagnostic capacity for the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Pathology (IJCEP, ISSN 1936-2625) is a peer reviewed, open access online journal. It was founded in 2008 by an international group of academic pathologists and scientists who are devoted to the scientific exploration of human disease and the rapid dissemination of original data. Unlike most other open access online journals, IJCEP will keep all the traditional features of paper print that we are all familiar with, such as continuous volume and issue numbers, as well as continuous page numbers to keep our warm feelings towards an academic journal.
