Baichalova","doi":"10.52532/2521-6414-2022-4-66-59-63","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.52532/2521-6414-2022-4-66-59-63","url":null,"abstract":"Relevance: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ranks sixth among the most common malignant neoplasms in the world and accounts for about \u00005.6% of all human malignant neoplasms. Despite encouraging progress in the diagnosis and treatment of HCC, the prognosis remains unsatisfactory, i.e., with a 5-year overall survival rate below 10.3%. However, the survival rate can reach 50-74% if early detection and therapeutic intervention are carried out on time. However, unfortunately, about 50% of HCC cases are diagnosed at a late stage. \u0000The protein induced by the absence of vitamin K or antagonist-II (PIVKA-II), also known as Dez-γ-carboxyprothrombin (DCP), is another \u0000marker specific to HCC. In several studies, elevated PIVKA-II serum levels were associated with HCC. Many authors have proven the PIVKA-II \u0000applicability for HCC monitoring. \u0000This study aimed to compare the efficiency of alpha-fetoprotein and des-gamma-carboxyprothrombin serological markers in HCC. \u0000Methods: The study included the review of published articles on the causes of HCC and the analysis of literature to compare cancer markers \u0000efficacy, including PIVKA-II and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), in detecting HCC. \u0000Results: The published results evidence an important role of PIVKA-II in HCC early detection, since PIVKA-II elevation in risk-group patients \u0000predicts HCC development in two years. Higher PIVKA-II levels can indicate a bigger tumor or a higher clinical stage. Besides, HCC patients with \u0000metastasis to the lymph nodes and distant metastasis had much higher PIVKA-II levels compared to non-metastatic patients. So, high PIVKA-II \u0000levels can to a certain extent reflect poor prognosis in HCC patients. \u0000Conclusion: The reviewed publications report much higher PIVKA-II serum levels in patients with HCC compared to patients with benign liver \u0000diseases or healthy people. Besides, PIVKA-II has a higher diagnostic capacity than AFP due to its higher levels, sensitivity, and specificity. Thus, \u0000we can expect high sensitivity and efficiency of the PIVKA-II oncomarker in HCC early diagnostics.","PeriodicalId":19480,"journal":{"name":"Oncologia i radiologia Kazakhstana","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76567798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
