Evaluation of Golgi Protein 73 (GP73) as a Potential Biomarkers for Hepatocellular Carcinoma |
Background: Early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma is very important in the treatment which is feasible. Alpha-fetoprotein plus ultrasound in surveillance programs is controversial. GP73 is a protein. Golgi increase significantly in the sera of patients with hepatitis B virus and HCV-related HCC, providing a marker for its early detection. The aim is to detect serum Golgi protein 73 (GP73) in patients with cirrhosis and with hepatocellular carci-noma (HCC), and to determine its sensitivity and specificity as a screening tool for the detection of HCC.
