Core Tip This investigation garnered peripheral blood samples from 30 primary liver cancer (PLC) patients and 30 healthy individuals to determine CD4+, CD8+, CD3+CD56+, CD8+CD56+, CD3+CD161+, and CD3-CD161+ natural killer (NK) T cell levels, as well as alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) contents. The aim is to confirm the diagnostic value of NKT cell subsets, AFP, and GGT levels in the context of PLC. The outcomes revealed a marked increase in the levels of CD8+CD56+NKT, CD3+CD161+NKT, CD3-CD161+NKT, AFP, and GGT in PLC patients’ peripheral blood. Combining these five indicators for detection enhanced the sensitivity and specificity of PLC diagnosis. Our findings demonstrated that placing emphasis on the combined detection of CD8+CD56+NKT, CD3+CD161+NKT, and CD3-CD161+NKT cells may play an essential part in improving the early diagnosis of PLC in clinical practice.
