Background and Aims-Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is widely used as a surveillance test for Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) among patients with cirrhosis. Des-gamma carboxy-prothrombin (DCP) and lectin-bound AFP (AFP-L3) are potential surveillance tests for HCC. The aims of this study were to determine performance of DCP and AFP-L3 for the diagnosis of early HCC, whether they complement AFP, and what factors affect DCP, AFP-L3 or AFP levels.
