Clinical Evaluation of Lentil Lectin-Reactive Alpha-Fetoprotein-L3 in Histology-Proven Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Abstract

AFP-L3 is potentially a clinically useful marker for the differentiation of increased AFP levels in hepatocellular carcinoma and chronic liver diseases. The AFP-L3 percentage is closely related to HCC differentiation. We consider the analysis of AFP-L3 a useful adjunct in the diagnosis of HCC.
